The City

O scrape out your bones and sing out your song For the shit that you dig up, the shit that went wrong Set sail for the future and don't be lookin' back When your nervous system is under attack Don't settle down Don't wait around Cause you don't know what you find there In the city Don't be lookin' back Today we were walkin', then we were drivin' You said let's go out, up to the limestone Bar on the corner, fight in the street And the fog-horn-ing silence after the deed Don't settle down Don't wait around Cause you don't know what you find there In the city Don't fall asleep Or you'll be sure to weep your life away Down there in the city All your dreams are like paper in the fire Remember the beginning when you wanted to fly Over the sun, over the skyscrapers high You were born for more than this O scrape out your bones and sing out your song For the shit that you dig up, the shit that went wrong Set sail for the future and don't be lookin' back When your nervous system is under attack Don't settle down Don't wait around Cause you don't know what you find there in the city Don't fall asleep Or you'll be sure to weep your life away Down there in the city Fight in the street Don't be late now I won't wait now Don't be late no City city city city Don't be late now I won't wait now Don't be late no City city city city Don't be late now I won't wait now Don't be late no City city city city
