Broken City

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway the city scraps And winter time she wore a yellow coat Now there's nothin' on her back If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it Then no one cares about climbin' stairs nothin' at the top no more Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city I watch a building crack Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside kickin' in the broken city there's nothin' wrong with that Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come Now they don't come back You can heal the rust goin' up the throughways Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city I watch a building crack Outside kickin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city there's nothin' wrong with that Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map Anymore When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks No thin roses no goldrush no miner no revolution they'd hire And the shipyard is a graveyard no one will be trying to find him Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside kickin' in the broken city I watch a building crack Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside kickin' in the broken city there's nothin' wrong with that There's nothin' wrong with that Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city
