Lyrics
Life in the city never felt so wrong
Than when I chose to move back to my home
Quiet nights but thunders at my door
When Iโm in the city all the noises grow
I mistake my raging heart for a moto-sport
All the broken glass empty as my broken bones
Iโve died in this city many times before
I havenโt paid for my service
I would rather rot under the summer rain
(Everybody gathered in the summer rain)
Iโve ran from the city where I donโt belong
Although Iโve tried to forget you
There's a Winston smog all day long
I miss the city, it feels bittersweet
Cause I loved lonely nights while I danced in my mind
as I prayed for a lover to keep
I miss the city where I wanted to burn in
Nobody heard me at night when I cried in my mind,
not the demons on the stairway to hell
I moved back in town, I donโt how long for
Maybe until I get tired of the roaring wind
I mistake the birds chirping for my mothers sing
Time after time I've pictured myself
Writing songs in my garden, in the prairie outside the concrete walls
I canโt stand the pain during farewells
I swear I couldnโt stay longer
Couldnโt see the forest for the summer haze
Eyes were turning yellow, white and green and gray
I passed by the city, and the flames laid on my skin
I didnโt want you to see me (like this)
Youโre still in my mind all day long
Cause I miss the city, where I smoked to the moon
Walking for miles in the dark, feelinโ doomed every night
Iโm deranged to the sound of the blues
Iโd burn the city, where I was very loved
Cause Iโve felt every place
and Iโve waited for days
just to see if youโre coming around
And I remember the time I couldnโt feel my skin because of the stars
you poured in our beers
Now youโre in my blood youโre like holy wine
You taste so bitter, so sweet
But I wonโt stand, won't stand on my feet
I thought I would stop
But it's been three in a row
This might be the last time that I ever smoke
I knew one last cigarette would keep me holding on for
