The city air is poison

But it tastes so sweet

Blowing through your windows this morning

And the sirens in the distance

And the traffic in the street

To my ear it sounds like music for me



And there's no needle in my arm

But I feel so high

No I won't ever come down

But I'm walking through the sunlight

And its brokeness that greats me

In the doorways of this ancient town



And roll it over

Roll it under

If I got you by my side

Well the sky may howl

And the city smolder

I don't need nowhere to hide



Foundations are shaking

Woah spirits aching

Midday burning cold until

I picture your face

It starts a roaring in my head

Like the sea inside an empty shell



Everywhere see innocence,

Faith undermined

Everywhere a hunger and flame

And relentless disillusionment

Praying on the mind

'Till oh, the world is tamed



And roll it over

Roll it under

If I got you by my side

And the sky may howl

And the city smolder

I don't need nowhere to hide



Through the melancoly rain

Darkness of the hills

You know how I feel the pain

But you kiss me and I'm healed



Through the baracades of reasons

Forgotten hopes and seasons

We stand before the waking light

Strange as the years grow dark

My soul catch a spark

And now the minutes never burned so bright



Roll it over

Roll it under

If I got you by my side

And the sky may howl

With tons of thunder

I don't need nowhere to hide



And roll it over

Roll it under

If I got you by my side

And the sky may howl

And the city smolder

I don't need nowhere to hide



Its loud and its clea
