See the streetlights flashing by my car On this Malaysian highway I’ve been invited to these new skies To join in and do it my way Palm trees, lit up by the buildings Do they even grow here naturally Living here must take some pretending In a few months, that’s me Still, something here enthralls me This city beats with a broken heart This city beats with a broken heart Show me one red drop of blood Bleed a little Show me just one red drop of blood Bleed a little Cause if the blood flows, the heart beats There’s life in the dead streets And hope for brighter times Yes if the blood flows, the heart beats There’s life in the dead streets And hope for brighter times So here I drive in the traffic’s main vein I’m bound to face that broken heart My only hope to see that wanted blood stain Is to crash myself and make things fall apart Perception is not what you look at But what your eyes and mind will see So what is it I project into these sad flats Is it something from inside of me Still, something here enthralls me This city beats with a broken heart This city beats with a broken heart Show me one red drop of blood Bleed a little Show me just one red drop of blood Bleed a little Cause if the blood flows, the heart beats There’s life in the dead streets And hope for brighter times Yes if the blood flows, the heart beats There’s life in the dead streets And hope for brighter times
