lyrics

The city is burning down
One whole block at a time
All the old shops and old folks’ homes
Gone, up in smoke overhead
Gone, turning stars angry red

In miles of old alleyways
All our secrets in piles
Left outside where the dogs can find them
Gone, like they’d never arrived
Gone, like they were never alive

Try to pack up and run
From all lonely places with no lonely traces left
Come walk beside me, come move me and guide me
Come walk beside me, yeah, come please remind me
Of places still clear and blue
Falling down, fell in love, before that was us too

Woke up late in the summertime
Speakers sputtered to life
Something caught between stations now
Gone, let me quick write it down
Gone, feel the flames coming ‘round

Were we so true?
