lyrics

This City's dead

This city's dead, he said
It's only nine o'clock and they're rolling up the side walks
a big box town
it's hard to get around
you are my source of disappointment
where the dreamers all burn out
blue collar working for his dollar
tryin to get ahead
but he'll just gamble it instead
there's too many hurting for a penny
trying to live a life
where they work just to survive

I've been walkin
past these parking lots
and painted metal trees
you've been pacing
but I'll keep chasing
these unrealistic
big city dreams

I'll be
something some day
you'll see
my face and you'll remember me
and the life I chose instead
"don't go chasing what you don't know"
you said "I'll miss you so.."
so remember what you said?
that "this city's dead."
this city's dead.

this city's cold I know
I'm walkin down the street
with people walkin right through me
there's too many hurting for a penny
trying to live a life
where they work just to survive

I've been walkin
past these parking lots
and painted metal trees
you've been pacing
but I'll keep chasing
these unrealistic
big city dreams

I'll be
something some day
you'll see
my face and you'll remember me
and the life I chose instead
"don't go chasing what you don't know"
you said "I'll miss you so.."
so remember what you said?
that "this city's dead."
this city's dead.
