This City Will Kill You

We were young Out on the scene Life so loud And so much fun And the party boys In their pretty clothes Everybody's got it going on Everybody's got it going on On the way home Just to score one In the daytime In the downtown And the lights are shining And the girls are dancing All the lights are sparkling And the drugs are working This city will kill you This city will kill you Everybody is praying that it rains It's been promised now for days But the sun is high in the sky again You go out at night And you nurse your pain You got to get out You got to get out You got to run Gotta quit this town You got to get out You got to get out You got to run Gotta quit this town tonight 'Cause this city will kill you You've got to wake up And figure things out You're getting too old They'll walk over your bones when you're cold (When you're cold) This city will kill you Why was I Why was I The one to survive The one to survive The one who The one who Didn't succumb, didn't succumb? Gotta quit this town You gotta quit this town tonight You got to get out You got to get out You got to run Gotta quit this town You got to get out You got to get out You got to run Gotta quit this town tonight This city will kill you You gotta quit this town Got to get out You gotta quit this town tonight Got to get out, got to get out, got to get out Got to get out, got to get out
