the city loves you

lyrics

the city loves you
it wraps its dank streets like gloves around you
and its filthy fingers will
ruffle your hair

but the city will abuse you
it is rude and obtuse to you
with its hot breath on the back of your neck
while it whispers in your ear

you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here

the city it will trap you
it will bite you and it will slap you
it will carve its name into your back
while it stalks you like a heart attack

but the city will abuse you
it’s rude and obtuse to you
its hot breath on the back of your neck
as it whispers in your ear

you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you don’t belong here
you won’t be long here
you don’t belong here

the city loves you
the city loves you
the city loves you
the city loves you
