Skeletons and gamblers stumble and meander, tracing crooked smiles on the ground
They are aimless but determined to be resolute and learned while they marvel at the thoughts they've found
Balconies full of broken dreams, haggard minds and bursting seams
The two cannot be parted
I'm just getting started
Flashes fill the famous streets
While ashes drain from beneath their feet
And they're singing
Bet they're singing
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Where can we shelter from the helter skelter of this storm
A windswept cityscape so ready
To reap the lives and minds of many
Chapped cracks in the paths they tread
They're living in their heads
The phantoms that pursue them, these erudite illusions, list lazily from cigarettes and breath
Under a haze of orange lamplight, wrapped up in what's in hindsight, they criss-cross walks and talk of better days
Empty eyes cast on endless skies, brimming lips and toothless lies
The two cannot be parted
I'm just getting started.
Four more years of these sleepless nights
Four more years wondering is this right?
And they're singing
I bet they're signing
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Where can we shelter from the helter skelter of this storm
A windswept cityscape so ready
To reap the lives and minds of many
Chapped cracks in the paths they tread
They're living like they're dead.
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Where can we shelter from the helter skelter of this storm
Why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Chapped cracks in the paths they tread
Oh why's the rain feel so heavy
Why's the wind make me unsteady
Where can we shelter from the helter skelter of this storm
A windswept cityscape so ready
To reap the lives and minds of many
Chapped cracks in the paths they tread
