The snow on the screen
we're going light
speed tonight
Like Bonnie Clyde
except we don't
die tonight
And the blister packs
coats and crumpled up
notes appear
It's a break from
the swill the piss
they distill
around here
A break from the swill
the piss they
distill around here
Lift off of
this Metropolis
When this town
comes down
I wish I wish
My first degree
emergency
Is kettled by
your cavalry
I wish I wish
The cash machine
queens when ambulance
teams arrive
In their skeletal
jeans they take
Refugees for wives
When their collars get
felt their glorified
belts won't keep'em
warm
And we'll run up the
strand your wrist
in my hand
We know we're born
Yeah I know I'm born
Yeah I know I'm born
Lift off of
this Metropolis
When this town
comes down
I wish I wish
My first degree
emergency
Is kettled by
your cavalry
I wish I wish
And when all of your
friends are my enemies
Wishing me gone as
I'm running away
And my only defence
is the worst of me
Out in the open for
all to survey
When you settle for
less than
I promised you
Knowing that all of
our barrels
are scraped
If it seems like
it's harder to
say to you
It's cause
some things
are just harder
to say
Lift off of
this Metropolis
When this town
comes down
I wish I wish
