It`s a garbage truck hour, I`m sleeping in the shower I`m feeling like I`m waiting on a train By the sounds from my bed I think somebody`s bled All over something someone`s keeping clean
I don`t need anything, just make it bright then turn it low You don`t need more than me You could live right there beneath the stairs I`ve done it, I`ve said all I can, I`ve reached the end Now you must learn to bend Bend to the floor, taste the core
You`re not going nowhere leave the money right there I feel the arrow sticking in my ear We owe so much we pawned Now watch the power come undone I`m standing on my head to watch the day just drift away This city always makes the same mistakes, asleep or awake
I`m sick of waking up inside white balloons Inside of blue balloons
New York air is sweet tonight there`s no stars but that`s all right I`m breathing
I feel you through your fear Pull the arrow from my ear Tonight we`ll take a different way home They say the fire burns but won`t consume But it does consume
You`re slick, you shoplift What`s left of my brain You haven`t changed This city always makes the same mistakes, it`s just like me It always breaks in two I`m sick of me for being sick of you We`ll take a gypsy cab to heaven or hell Time will tell
