Good for the City

There was a fire in the alley
All the rats would fled the scene
The bottleneck of human traffic
And their mobile phones
Could not preserve the memory
All of the photo's and the stories
Quicly buckled on ths e weight
The bureacratic indignation
And it's their ticket tape parade

This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty

I call upon the prosecution
Please identify your case
The star witness from the counsel
Quickly put them their place
He laid his plans out on the table
As all our promises were sold
To build a temple of consumption
Where stood a temple of the soul
He said

This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
The city
The city
Imagine it there looking
Imagine it there
The city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty

Oh you could hear the shakes from miles
As they tore straight through the glass
A ghostly quier ressurected?? some base guitars
They put us there upon the carcass
With broken hearts we watched it fall
The cornerstone of this fine city
A monument to urban stroll

This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
