Rumors fly
Like the writing in the sky
There's a part of town
I'm not supposed to go

Danger signs
That you read between the lines
And there's someone there
I'm not allowed to know

I heard there's a rumor going round
Gonna be a showdown
I heard there's a rumor going round
One of us is leaving town

Lying eyes
And it comes as no surprise
That they follow me
In every place I go

Should I stay
Should I turn and walk away
There's a part of me
That does not want to know

Cause I heard there's a rumor going round
I caught it on the rebound
I heard there's a rumor going round
Trouble could be back in town

Shadows fall
On the writing on the wall
If you look too long
You see it fade away

I'm aware
There was something in the air
And the spoken word
Is just a game we play

And I heard there's a rumor going round
No one's gonna back down
I heard there's a rumor going round
Trouble could be back in town

I heard there's a rumor going round
There gonna be a showdown
Someone's gonna win
Someone's gonna lose
Nobody is backing down

I heard there's a rumor going round
They're heading for a showdown
Something's going round
Something's going on
One of us is leaving town
