In a room Above the traffic lights What are we doing here? It doesn't feel that safe
You got away Away from the numbing fights But if they find us here: Where are the fire escapes?
And I wouldn't let you fall But the weight of our souls Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear Couldn't let you go In the dark and the cold Is there any other light that we can share?
Pretty soon we won't have anything Soon all the money's gone Let's hope the beauty stays
A capital history towering Against the purple sky Above the waterways
And I wouldn't let you fall But the weight of our souls Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear Couldn't let you go In the dark and the cold Is there any other light that we can share?
And the car horns And the fast lanes Of the seashore And the sound of shouts in the morning And the silence and the soft shine of your hair
