These streets are cold
And some things just can't be told
As i wait alone, but you know how that goes
When everything becomes a blur to me
Chiors sing the street songs that i've come to know
And the world is turning into the city today
I spend my days traveling underground
In bright subways until the sun goes down
I spend my nights growing flowers by candlelight
In dark hotels until the sun comes up and we go for a walk.so we can talk
Or we can say nothing at all
Lets go for a drive. they'll never find us alive if we say nothing
Cause the world is turning into the city
Sometimes i wonder if i will ever leave the city
Sometimes the air is very hard to breathe in the city
While all the ghosts are marching in the streets
I make the same mistakes. please forgive me
Your simple toys remind my of the noise
That i once heard of motor cars and crashing birds
I stand alone remembering my home
And where we'll go when all these buildings turn to stone
This is how i spent my time in the city
