How I Spent My Time In The City

These streets are cold,

And some things just cant be told

As I wait alone, but you know how that goes.

When everything becomes a blur to me,

Chiors sing the street songs that I've come to know.

And the world is turning into the city today.

I spend my days traveling underground

In bright subways until the sun goes down.

I spend my nights growing flowers by candlelight

In dark hotels until the sun comes up and we go for a walk

So we can talk,

Or we can say nothing at all.

Let's go for a drive

They'll never find us alive if we say nothing,

Cause the world is turning into the city

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever leave the city.

Sometimes the air is very hard to breathe in the city.

While all the ghosts are marching in the streets,

I make the same mistakes. please forgive me.

Your simple toys remind my of the noise

That I once heard of motor cars and crashing birds.

I stand alone remembering my home

And where we'll go when all these buildings turn to stone.
