My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps

And winter time she wore a yellow coat

Now there's nothin' on her back

If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it

Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more

Outside trippin' in the broken city

Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack

Outside trippin' in the broken city

Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean

Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come

Now they don't come back

You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways

Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier

I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack

Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map

Anymore

When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks

No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire

And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside kickin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that)

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
