There was a city that wasn't there And every day we emptied it out To return nightly by rail and highway And whisper in our children's ears our doubts We'll hide them in dull conversations And bake them into shitty pies And every day I'm here, I'm thinking I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere There was a city that wasn't there And every spring we emptied it out To wipe the streets clean of last year's debris And make a better way for new breed Turnstiles on the major inputs Get in, get out and get forgot And at the city limits, we sing I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere There is a city that isn't here Though I'm not sure I can call it home An artery from the dark heart of the world Broken, crumbling and overgrown I don't live anywhere I don't live anywhere
