As featured on Welcome to Night Vale

Written originally because I am a huge fan of the Silent Hill games and the "peculiar little town" trope - the idea of little strange places, usually in America, where weird stuff always seems to happen, mostly sinister in nature.

lyrics

Just a traveller, a stranger in a strange land
You run out of gas on the edge of town
Everyone's kind, nobody minds lending a helping hand
But you better leave before the sun goes down

The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town

Just a traveller, a soul who took the wrong road
Surrounded by eyes and sharpened smiles
Everything's fine, they invite you to dine with them before you go
You don't need to leave yet, why not stay a while?

The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town

Just a traveller, a stranger passing by
You ran out of gas on the edge of town
Everyone's kind, nobody minds helping you die
Cause you didn't leave before the sun went down

The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
The sirens call, the ashes fall in this peculiar little town
The fog descends and sanity ends in this peculiar little town
