Lyrics
The sun came in over on the building ridge And 56 feet below, a Dominican jogs his path to death 'round paint stained block While the chief turns on the radio and cracks a Steel Reserve I wonder how many of last night's lovers double parked This city swallows men He tells me tales of places that he ran and ran from Never ever to return again It's funny in luck and love You can never remember the moment you fell in But you recall when you fell out of touch The city's hushed, keepin' it's secrets The sunshine is blinding, riding, hiding wrinkles and creases Beautiful features chipped, cracked, crippled, brittled and weakened Tragic pageant queen bleeds; soft focus keepin' her even The city's breathing, I feel it coming awake Every exhalation creates a gray across the skyscape Like the sky's a looking glass and in the fog, the dirty breath left We can etch our dreams and wipe it clean before they see I get tore up, I get tore up under city lights Tore up every city, I get tore up under city lights I get tore up, I get tore up under city lights Tore up under city lights, tore up under city lights I get tore up, I get tore up under city lights Tore up every city, I get tore up under city lights I get tore up, I get tore up under city lights Tore up under city lights, tore up under city lights The city's rushing, picking up some steam it hits The Chief's beat his shift till first sip A malt liquor will bleed through lips He flips a small piece of sh*t Driver's license for money clip Equipped with a face that says "Hey man look what I did" The city's up in arms, the Chief is ravin' Sick of taxes, sick of working Sick of waitin', sick and tired of what the city's facin' Enlisting ladies chased from the bottom of his history's basement A tomb of a room caked in cobwebs, odds and ends and missing faces This city's built a head of steam, the river shivers steadily A poison boilin' up from beneath the lies and memories I spent the last three months in shambles Drunk on clouds and syphoned stars I shook every palm left-handed Dozing off inside the back of the bar Woke in a party hat with streamers tossed inside my hair My head's been ringin' out A cigarette burns out inside my left hand And dust the Cain and bottled cacophony off of me, standing And blow a kiss to my chair Unlock the deadbolt baby, I'm comin' home You'll never see my face around here Unlock the deadbolt baby, I'm comin' home You'll never see my face around here
