Broken City lyrics

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway

The city scraps

And winter time she wore a yellow coat

Now there's nothing on her back

If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice

Unless you were in it

Then no one cares about climbing stairs

Nothing at the top no more

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

There's nothing wrong with that

Now the snow falls down like it's falling on an ocean

Dead and empty by the railroad tracks

Where they used to go and come

Now they don't come back

You can kill the rust, going up the through ways

Down the alleys

Where they stole this town from the frontier

I can see them trying to steal it back

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

There's nothing wrong with that (x2)

Now the sun won't shine

On this part of the map anymore

When it's cold outside

I see it hide behind the smokestacks

No thin roses, no goldrush

No miner, no revolution they'd hire

And the shipyard is a graveyard

No one will be trying to find him

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack

Outside tripping in the broken city

Outside kicking in the broken city

There's nothing wrong with that (x2)

Nothing wrong with that

Outside tripping in the broken city, yeah

Hey, outside tripping in the broken city

Hey, outside tripping in the broken city

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside
