The snow on the screen we're going light speed tonight
|
Like Bonnie & Clyde except we don't die tonight
|
And the blister packs coats and crumpled up notes appear
|
It's a break from the swill, the piss they distill around here
|
A break from the swill, the piss they distill around here
|
|
Lift off of this Metropolis
|
When this town comes down,
|
I wish I wish
|
My first degree emergency
|
Is kettled by your cavalry
|
I wish I wish
|
|
The cash machine queens when ambulance teams arrive
|
In their skeletal jeans they take Refugees for wives
|
When their collars get felt their glorified belts won't keep 'em warm
|
And we'll run up the strand, your wrist in my hand
|
We know we're born
|
Yeah I know I'm born
|
Yeah I know I'm born
|
|
Lift off of this Metropolis
|
When this town comes down
|
I wish I wish
|
My first degree emergency
|
Is kettled by your cavalry
|
I wish I wish
|
|
And when all of your friends are my enemies
|
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
|
And my only defence is the worst of me
|
Out in the open for all to survey
|
When you settle for less than I promised you
|
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
|
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
|
It's cause some things are just harder to say
|
|
Lift off of this Metropolis
|
When this town comes down
|
I wish I wish
|
My first degree emergency
|
Is kettled by your cavalry
|
I wish I wish
|
