I'm not a gambling man I don't know how to play this hand I was dealt by force Thought I could speak easy But you just bent my words right back on me Then I broke the law Now here beneath the rust, the skytrain rattles 'round overhead The raindrops fall through dust and Shatter on the ground, black and dead I never should have placed my trust in the City The vulture town that picked me clean And then, as if answering the call, the vault is filled with music I'm not a lawless man I always trusted in your plan I was dumb like that I chose the straightest path But all the landmarks moved as I walked past Now I can't look back Now here beneath the rust, the skytrain rattles 'round overhead The raindrops fall through dust and Shatter on the ground, black and dead I never should have placed my trust in the City The python town that crushed my bones I'm not a fighting man I never act on wrath's command But I know you do I'd rather run than stand You'd rather force my hand than understand That I'm not like you Now here beneath the rust, the skytrain rattles 'round overhead The raindrops fall through dust and Shatter on the ground, black and dead I never should have placed my trust in the City The viper town that bled me dry
