Since You Came to This Town

[DIANA]
My mother was a Moon, my father was a Glampers
I make my livin' scrubbin' floors and disinfectin' hampers
I eat my meals from cans, I go to bed at nine
I'm still scared of the dark, but lately I been fine
I'm not alone when the sun goes down
Since you came to this town

[MARY]
I got two sets of twins, don't know why God allowed it
I got a mobile home - it's peelin' and it's crowded
All day I mind the kids, at night I walk the streets
A girl has gotta live, her children's gotta eat
Folks make fun of me, put me down
'Till you came to this town

[DELBERT]
You got a way of makin' someone feel
That he is someone real
And not just some poor clown to push aside

[JEROME]
You don't look down on no one if he's dumb
Or if he's some unimportant person
That everyone wants to hide

[DAWN]
I always used to think that God just plain forgot me
Or maybe got my life mixed up with someone who is not me
I'm still a little scared, I'm still a little sad
But I've got to confess, it ain't been half so bad
I think I'm comin' around
Since you came to this town

[MUSHARI, spoken]
Operator? I'd like the area code, please, for Pisquontuit, Rhode Island. Pisquontuit. That's right.

[ENSEMBLE]
I always used to think that God just plain forgot me
Or maybe got my life mixed up with someone who is not me
I'm still a little scared, I'm still a little sad
But I've got to confess, it ain't been half so bad
I think I'm comin' around
Since you came to this town
Since you came to this town
Since you came to this town

[JEROME, spoken]
God bless you, Mr. Rosewater. Good night.
