Giving It Up

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Can't get off the ground in this holding pattern town

They put these buildings up just to bring me down

And I don't trust my friends any more than I trust the cops

Any more than I trust this dirty air that's burning up my lungs

So I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up for good

So I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up for good

My baby looks at me like her long lost prince of thieves

Sometimes it's not enough to get only what you need

And I know I need her like the concrete needs the rain

Like a drunk needs ice in his glass like a ball needs a chain

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up for good

So I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up for good

This is paradise

The place you come to die

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up

I'm giving it up for good
