You laid down your vows
and laid down your crown
and made your last wishes
in a Northwestern Town
And she’s kissing you softly
as she’s leading you down
and you know you’ve been taken
in a Northwestern town
And you slipped through the border
when the full moon was right
made stealth through the forest
before the first light
and she’s kissing you softly
in an afternoon dream
and you know that she can’t be
at all what she seems
And you’ve been here before
and you know your way ‘round
so you’ll just have to fake it
until one of these nights
you finally figure it out
The bus pulls in slowly
you’ve been turned around
and spits you out coldly
in a Northwestern town
and she’s kissing you softly
as she’s leading you down
and you know you’ve been taken
in a Northwestern town
yeah, you know you’ve been taken
in a Northwestern town
