We Will Not Leave
My love lives in a white tower
Not ivory but cement
The road outside is covered in leaves
The pavement's always wet
The traffic stinks, it rushes by
We're awake all night
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
The windows leak, the light's too bright
The doors are all kicked in
Someone got attacked downstairs
We didn't do a thing
Whenever we can, we steal the time
Up the winding stairs we climb
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
From the heights where we look out
The air begins to thin
Here the vines can climb no higher
Barbed wire roses cling
The floors are purest concrete
And she the warmest marble
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
Not ivory but cement
The road outside is covered in leaves
The pavement's always wet
The traffic stinks, it rushes by
We're awake all night
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
The windows leak, the light's too bright
The doors are all kicked in
Someone got attacked downstairs
We didn't do a thing
Whenever we can, we steal the time
Up the winding stairs we climb
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
From the heights where we look out
The air begins to thin
Here the vines can climb no higher
Barbed wire roses cling
The floors are purest concrete
And she the warmest marble
And all we hear are passing trains
Living in the wake of a hurricane
But we will not leave
We will not leave
