Nana Grizol - Broken Cityscapes lyrics

rate me

Pushing forward, highway miles are cheaper than in town<br />

If you left something behind we'll try your best not to let it get you down<br />

The city's full of bullshit, I don't sleep there anymore<br />

I don't want it's schmoozy eagerness, I don't want to be it's whore<br />

<br />

But we, we are so awestruck by the way that things just are<br />

Like the way the sun shines 'till it's night time<br />

We fall asleep to the sound of passing cars<br />

<br />

It's that sinking sunken feeling<br />

That you get on the roofs of tall buildings<br />

Staring out over the bay or broken cityscapes that make you cry<br />

And it's not sad you just don't know how to begin to ask why<br />

<br />

Just a few more cigarettes and I'll come back inside<br />

And do you ever get the feeling<br />

Something somewhere in you is still alive<br />

And saying "Oh and it's a big life, as big as it can be<br />

And if you cannot see the beauty well don't give up so easily<br />

And it's a weak-kneed conversation telling your new revelation<br />

To a choir of a more cynical nature<br />

<br />

"Being your ego and your I'd<br />

The part that swears to you you'll never want kids<br />

The part that drinks away each night<br />

And in the morning wakes at ten and goes to work<br />

<br />

So let's not be so bitter at least not just yet<br />

I keep meaning to say everything's ok<br />

Well how presumptuous is that?<br />

<br />

And sure we all get hurt sometimes<br />

And sure we all feel ashamed<br />

But if our friends can't help us through these things<br />

I don't know what friendship means<br />

And I don't know just what it is I'm trying to say
