Handsome Furs Hate This City

woke up with blankets and buildings with jaws

stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon

we wish for night-time, a darkening screen

hoping the heart is just a machine

oh, there was home (x2)

this one is vicious, a sinister lean

we haunted the staircase where small ghosts have been

we knew that heaven was stretched out and wide

pinned to the sky, pinned to the sky

oh, there was home (x2)

oh, life is long and hollow (x4)

we hate this city and its drone (x4)

so black out a million screens

and wires up the floor

baby we can get you anything you want

anytime you want

but you'll wonder what its for

so black out a million screams

and wire ourselves to the floor

baby we can get you anything you want

anytime you want

but you'll wonder what its for
