Manhattan Transfer - GUIDED MISSILES lyrics

This town has its claws

buried in my neck

this town - it takes lives

without mercy

without hate

the streets are in distress

the sun suffocates behind darkened skies

The Grass is growing

on top of my feet

i'm sinking

wont be long

before im too deep to run

the line up seems endless

underneath the salvation signs

we are the dead ones

we are the lost cause

we are the bend before the break

our steps seal our fate

because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls

Every step i take

i leave a small piece of myself behind

soon there will be nothing left

the cracks in the pavement

match the cracks in their weathered skin

The sky's a brick wall

the grounds a juggernaut

each day they get a bit closer

between them, i am caught

i stare in amazement i can't believe

this is where i live

Every breath i take

i feel my lungs seal

this breeze feels more like shards of glass

I'm more scar than skin

because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls

our steps seal fate

our steps seal fate

this is our celebration

come join the lost souls

this city this city is haunted

walk with us oh

because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls
