lyrics

I walk through the MOMA, try to burn out the smell

Of the cosmetic anger, digital hell

My feet flat on the city, I let my body learn

I loved this place when I met you, being here makes me burn 

Out on the terrace, double ledge from the wall
Just as well I feel weak, always think I may fall,
Now the fog’s rolling in it’s the promising hour
I’d be heading home soon to drink a strong 22
Shave and pretend not to wait for you

Your city is dead, My city is dying,

It’s all fair I guess, It never really was mine
Home always changes, It’s the nature of life
All I have is my body for a place, for a time
Best wishes, XO, hugs and kisses, goodbye

Basement apartment, shaggy brown carpet

Rock hard queen bed, rock star phantoms

Mike tells me Jack and Meg slept here once too

I did pray to the room won’t you send me a tune

Now it’s glitter on the asphalt, paying out the ass for a
Studio on the outskirts, coffee, and a clean shirt
We talk shit about them they talk shit about us
This place used to be nice before they messed it up
And whenever you got here, it wasn’t quite soon enough
People fall into debt and they fall out of love

And they look down the street and say I knew you once
And they look down the street say what have you become

Your city is dead, My city is dying

It’s all fair I guess, It never really was mine.
I loved you once, For a place for a time
Home always changes, you will be just fine
Best wishes, XO, hugs and kisses, goodbye
