Ghostess - The Only Time a City's Clean lyrics

rate me

Verse:

Has this city always looked this way?

The streets are washed of their decay

Traffic's lighter than it usually seems

Each car's trying to navigate the streams

Chorus:

Acid stains the concrete

Eating all the cracks for mothers broken backs in streams

Puddles line the side streets

When it rains it's the only time it seems

A city's clean

Verse:

I make my way down the side walk

To the cafe that's around the block

I'm met with umbrella's piling at the door

and the sound of rubber souls squeaking on the floor

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Verse:

Has this city always looked this way

The streets are washed of their decay

I sip on coffee and wait out the storm

Beyond the asphalt watch the rainbows form

(Chorus)
