"City" lyrics

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down Lyrics

"City"

No, no, nobody knows where all the money goes
Hearts, thieves and overcoats drift away in smaller boats
And I love it when I leave in the middle of the heat
Eat the insides you would eat just to keep from feeling weak

Go anywhere, I will not follow
I've seen the end and it treats me well
I caught your name of the lips of the bottle
I'm in the home that you thought you just thought of now

That is my city and shame lives on my friends
[?]
That is my city and shame [?]

That is my city and that is my city
And that is my city and shame

Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new you whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new you whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new you whenever you need
