1
(Hans York/Tom Armstrong)
2
An empty tin for gasoline
3
Makes a desperate sound when it's struck
4
In the thoughts of a child in these decaying streets
5
In the swirling of the dust
6
The boy ignores it all and plays
7
With a branch on the rusty metal
8
Dust resting itself on his shoulders and shoes
9
When in truth it will never settle
10
She lifted her heart above all other things
11
Destroyed all her lovers with trust
12
In shanties where thoughts caught the wind in the heat
13
With the desperate discomfort of lust
14
She tried to reverse the decay of the world
15
Pulling back on its rusty metal
16
Dust resting itself on her shoulders and shoes
17
When in truth it would never settle
18
I've given up trying to sleep
19
It seems they'll never switch the light off that sign
20
The buildings, they ache and moan with the heat
21
The drunks blend their sorrows with wine
22
This city's a filter for genius
23
I've seen the rest of us keep passing through
24
May you cast off the burden of destiny, love
25
May its weight never settle on you
26
May you cast off the burden of destiny, love
27
May its weight never settle on you
