G.B.H. - 20 Floors Below lyrics

rate me

In the city of madness, I'm just another face,<br />

But they know right where I am,<br />

Gotta leave this place.<br />

Hiding in the subway, I don't like it down here,<br />

Rats are coming after me, they can smell my fear.<br />

<br />

I'm in a fix, can't you tell,<br />

Living in this high rise hell.<br />

Got the clouds for company,<br />

Terra ferma is the place to be.<br />

<br />

In the city of chrome and steel,<br />

They've got axes to grind.<br />

I'm looking straight ahead of me,<br />

But they're coming up from below.<br />

Try an' escape to the sky but I got my vertigo blues,<br />

Running out of time and luck,<br />

Wearing dead mens shoes.<br />

<br />

They're twenty floor below,<br />

Twenty floor below.<br />

I can see the whites of their eyes,<br />

And they're coming to get me.<br />

<br />

In the city of angels underneath the desert moon,<br />

I may seem in control right now,<br />

But it's them who's calling the tune.<br />

Turn to face my killers,<br />

Now turn and confront my fear.<br />

There's a shadow on the wall, everything is clear.<br />

<br />

In the city where the motto is "Forward",<br />

I feel right at home.<br />

And I never can settle down, no matter where I roam.<br />

Fidget bouncing off the wall,<br />

Finding we got no cheese.<br />

Check the answerphone,<br />

And a little more petrol please.
