The city air is poison
|
But it tastes so sweet
|
Blowing through your windows this morning
|
And the sirens in the distance
|
And the traffic in the street
|
To my ear it sounds like music for me
|
|
And there's no needle in my arm
|
But I feel so high
|
No I won't ever come down
|
But I'm walking through the sunlight
|
And its brokeness that greats me
|
In the doorways of this ancient town
|
|
And roll it over
|
Roll it under
|
If I got you by my side
|
Well the sky may howl
|
And the city smolder
|
I don't need nowhere to hide
|
|
Foundations are shaking
|
Woah spirits aching
|
Midday burning cold until
|
I picture your face
|
It starts a roaring in my head
|
Like the sea inside an empty shell
|
|
Everywhere see innocence,
|
Faith undermined
|
Everywhere a hunger and flame
|
And relentless disillusionment
|
Praying on the mind
|
'Till oh, the world is tamed
|
|
And roll it over
|
Roll it under
|
If I got you by my side
|
And the sky may howl
|
And the city smolder
|
I don't need nowhere to hide
|
|
Through the melancoly rain
|
Darkness of the hills
|
You know how I feel the pain
|
But you kiss me and I'm healed
|
|
Through the baracades of reasons
|
Forgotten hopes and seasons
|
We stand before the waking light
|
Strange as the years grow dark
|
My soul catch a spark
|
And now the minutes never burned so bright
|
|
Roll it over
|
Roll it under
|
If I got you by my side
|
And the sky may howl
|
With tons of thunder
|
I don't need nowhere to hide
|
|
And roll it over
|
Roll it under
|
If I got you by my side
|
And the sky may howl
|
And the city smolder
|
I don't need nowhere to hide
|
|
Its loud and its clear
|
I don't need nowhere
|
