The Hold Steady - All Through The City lyrics

rate me

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day

Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday

I gotta get a move, I’m looking for a place to go

Have money in my pocket, looking forward that I know.

I've been searching all through the city

See you in the morning down by the jetty.

See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime

Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time

Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain

Look into the sky, the sky is full of airplanes.

I've been searching all through the city

See you in the morning down by the jetty

Walking in the main drag pass the afternoon away

The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day

See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime

Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time

I've been searching all through the city

See you in the morning down by the jetty

I’ve been searching, I’ve been searching,

All through the city, all through the city

Shiny cars, shiny cars, shiny cars driving round detecting crime
