Lyrics
Work Is Never Done
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.
The city's getting bigger but everybody slowly moves away
Your accents gets thicker
The plot is getting thinner every day and planes are getting higher
The oil is getting deep below our feet
The sun is on fire
At least that is the word out on the street
The dust will never settle, we're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done
The lights are burning brighter
Everybody has a number and a price
This tide is getting higher
We're all drowning in a world of good advice
You believe in short of nothing
Cos nothing cannot be taken away
The sun is on fire and this city will be gone within a day
This city will be gone within a day
The dust will never settle, we're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done
The dust will never settle, we're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done
Go from here
I'll take you down
Take you deeper out of town
If we ever make it out of here
I love this city but it's burning to the ground
It's burning to the ground
The dust will never settle, we're always on the run
The dust will never settle
The dust will never settle, we're always on the run
The dust will never settle
Work is never done
Work is never done
Work is never
Work is never done
