Lyrics

In my head, there's a city at night
Static age
With the rush and the lights
United's concourse
You look very fine
But this place here
Is no friend of mine
And what you know
Can only mean one thing
And what you know
Can only mean one thing
Rooted to
The place that you sprang from
And this dirt
Was a building before
Shut it down
Before they opened the doors
Don't shout
Don't holler
Don't you cry
What has passed
We'll just leave it behind
And I rode
Horse-shapéd fire dragging stereo wire
And we rode
Chemicals until the breaking of dawn
And I rose
Over a town
Raised up by the sound
Of its drone
And I rose
Higher like horses
But can't make the horses
Lay down
This place here
Is no friend of mine
What's passed
We'll just leave it behind
And what you know
Can only mean one thing
And what you know
Can only mean one thing
Rooted to
The place that you sprang from
