City Life

She sleeps in ivory sleeves from wedding veils
The corpse beside me keeps me up until
Says its alright, just sit still
But I see trouble every turn I take
And I take trouble in and ruminate
How it's all down hill from here- so just keep it real
And on the wall I see there's hard times projected
Riddled dysphoria wriggling under camouflage
While the cards are all laughing at me
Taking shots in the breeze

Through tunnels oft mistaken born of night
These sweet diversions flit between these eyes: City Life
Ah, that sweet City Life
Yeah these hooks fit just right
Weighed down

In lights that seem to grow, in trails love letters know
Between the sheets all wet- cigarettes, all the rest

I see no problem with the broken records
I've heard the sirens screaming after dark
I know the bleating of heart that is broken
Bled fast on pavement leaking
Hey man is it safe here to park? Yeah, my kids go to school over here
I ain't keeping it real
Some say the pressures of the city is thickened
Can you afford repentance? Where's the intermission? Oh
Let it roll- blessed are the ones who call
With the last five to their name
