No Place Like Traverse Town
I have explored the seas
And the Cave of Wonders
Seen the Coliseum
And the jungle of Tarzan
But there's no place like Traverse Town
No, there's no place like Traverse Town
There's a hole in the sky like a garbage pit
And the souls of the worlds now inhabit it
Where the bands of rebels are tightly knit
And it goes by the name of Traverse Town
And the Heartless crawl through the streets' debris
Turning into a knight when the clock strikes three
On the innocents' hearts they feed
I too have scaled the heights of Hollow Bastion
I've been swallowed by a whale, gotten lost in Wonderland
But there's no place like Traverse Town
I beg your indulgence; my quest is far from easy
For in the once familiar streets I see a flock of
ghastly shadows everywhere
Forgive me
There was an island I called home
And it was beautiful
I knew a girl back at home
She is the reason that I roam
And she was beautiful, and she was paradise
And I was naïve
There was another boy who saw
That she was beautiful
So when she vanished in the storm
And when the islands were transformed
He tossed our friendship to the side
And took a villain as his guide
But she was gone
So soft
So young
So lost and oh so beautiful
The girl, sir, was she ever found?
Her whereabouts might surprise you
As they did me when I found out
There's a hole in the sky like a great black pit
And it is filled with people who don't know when to quit
And the name of that place is Traverse Town
