lyrics

Don’t get fractured, get plastered and paper the cracks that the parties have caused. Peeling stickers off the gaps in the walls, you never learn. I have been cherished, embellished, enmeshed, for so long. You never learn. Skylines change with the season. And this is the city that paved Paradise, underpaid half of us, unfinished and glorious. Where you can be anything that you choose. Cos this is the city that tears down everything, rebuilds on a whim. Don’t get fractured, be actors and actresses, stress that the script still needs work. It’s not yr fault that the dialogue hurts, you never learn. I have been written as smitten and smote, you never learn. Where you can be anything you (one two) choose. If you can’t decide it here, I don’t know where. Cos this is the city where the parks are parliament, the graves are government, on the edges of everything; this is the city.
