You're just like a lens for all of it You can make sense of all those lights You can move street to doorway Sucking on the air of all those nights Feel the drums and the bass as they tear down the walls Hear the screams of the crowd as they take to the floor See the role of the dice as he loses it all Who could dream of anything more? When the city breathes, you just can't leave It's got you deep beneath it's skin When the city calls, the downbeat stalls You don't care who or where you've been All the pretty things The drunken scenes The I.D. teens The drama queens The should've beens The ways and means It's everything you thought it would be. Crashing through a wall of drum beats Pushing back the dawn with all of your might Winding up the crowd from your seat Nothing you can do to kill this night Feel the drums and the bass as they tear down the walls Hear the screams of the crowd as they take to the floor See the role of the dice as he loses it all Who could dream of anything more? When the city breathes, you just can't leave It's got you deep beneath it's skin When the city calls, the downbeat stalls You don't care who or where you've been All the pretty things The drunken scenes The I.D. teens The drama queens The should've beens The ways and means It's everything you thought it would be
