lyrics

cigarettes smoke on

round the corner from the alley

where we mix dirt with blood

to purify our city

all i ever wanted was a little piece of ground

to get my head above the water, somewhere safe and sound

they don’t look so malicious, but it comes out by and by

blow through town like they’re some kind of savior

and they’ll sell it if you’ll buy

they all seem so unique

the moment when you meet

before they get their start

and sink their hooks into your heart

but i never wanted to live like this

so we all walk around

and cast our tall dark shadows on the ground

where we live to get by

but i never wanted to live like this
