Broken City

[Verse 1] My city sleeps by the side of a freeway A city of scraps In the winter time she wore a yellow coat Now there's nothing on her back If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice Unless you were in it And then no one cares about climbing stairs Nothing at the top no more [Chorus] Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city I watch her bleed and crack Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city There's nothing wrong with that [Verse 2] Now the snow falls down Like it's falling 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 hear the rust growing up the throughways Down the alleys Where they stole this town from the frontier I can see 'em trying to steal it back [Chorus] Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city I watch her bleed and crack Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city There's nothing wrong with that [Solo] [Verse 3] Now the sun won't shine On this part of the map anymore When it's cold outside I see her hide behind the smokestacks Nothing grows, there's no gold rush No miner, no revolution behind her And the shipyard is a graveyard No one will be trying to find her [Chorus] Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city I watch her bleed and crack Outside tripping in the broken city Outside kicking in the broken city There's nothing wrong with that [Outro] Nothing wrong with that Outside tripping in the broken city, yeah Hey, outside tripping in the broken city Hey, outside tripping in the broken city Outside, outside Outside, outside Outside, outside Outside
