lyrics

Listen and the City will Tell You, Watch as they push us away
Out to some slice of Heaven, Knows where, and 1 8 3
Some slanted strip of No mans land where they welcome machines
Machines don’t care if you’re happy to see them, I wish they did cause I’m not and I will leave
Well I run to the Rock just to hide my face but the Rock cried out, no hiding place
THERE’S NO HIDING PLACE DOWN HERE

You can wipe us from the gutter, Shovel us onto a bus
Dump us out, past the place, where it’s too late and no point, in return
Then you’ll be so fresh and safe I hope you never escape
And we’ll live til we die, Beyond these lights, Cause there’s no hiding place
Well I run to the bridge just to find a place but the trucks slung mud, No Hiding Place
THERE’S NO HIDING PLACE DOWN HERE

I keep to myself, and I keep it weird, but it sure feels like they don’t want me here
I’m Somebody’s baby, I ran away and joined the Navy,
I Never was a fighter but Im fighting for my life
I have my demons and my vices, just like every guy
But you can take yours home and I have nowhere for mine to hide
So Look At Me! Right In The Eyes! And tell there’s nowhere for me to reside
WELL I RUN FROM THE COPS TO SAVE MY FACE, LOUDSPEAKER SPOKE LOUD:
NO HIDING PLACE! THERE’S NO HIDING PLACE DOWN HERE!
