There's a place I know
Yeah it's filled with smoke
Where the despair meets the rope
(See the dreams and the paint on the buildings)
Overgrown and still
I feel it in my throat
There's a place I know, place I know
The city that breathes
(This is a city that breathes)
The smoke through the streets
(Choke on the dust and the chemicals)
They'll line up to plead for the money they need
This is a city that breathes
(This is a city that breathes)
On these nights we see the devil to be
Water runs of pearl colors
We watch it flow through the streets
From the mountain high to the rust below
There's a place I know, place I know, place I know
(This is a city that breathes)
The smoke through the streets
(Choke on the dust and the chemicals)
Then line up to plead for the money they need
This is a city that breathes
(This is a city that breathes)
This is a city that takes everything
This is a city that takes everything
This is a city
There's a place I know
(This is a city that breathes)
Yeah it's filled with smoke
Where the despair meets the rope
(This is a city that breathes)
From the mountain high
(This is a city that breathes)
To the rust below
There's a place I know
(This is a city that breathes)
And I call it home
