nowhere to hide
The city air is poison But it tastes so sweet Blowing through your windows this morning And the sirens in the distance And the traffic in the street To my ear it sounds like music for me And there's no needle in my arm But I feel so high No I won't ever come down But I'm walking through the sunlight And its brokeness that greats me In the doorways of this ancient town And roll it over Roll it under If I got you by my side Well the sky may howl And the city smolder I don't need nowhere to hide Foundations are shaking Woah spirits aching Midday burning cold until I picture your face It starts a roaring in my head Like the sea inside an empty shell Everywhere see innocence, Faith undermined Everywhere a hunger and flame And relentless disillusionment Praying on the mind 'Till oh, the world is tamed And roll it over Roll it under If I got you by my side And the sky may howl And the city smolder I don't need nowhere to hide Through the melancoly rain Darkness of the hills You know how I feel the pain But you kiss me and I'm healed Through the baracades of reasons Forgotten hopes and seasons We stand before the waking light Strange as the years grow dark My soul catch a spark And now the minutes never burned so bright Roll it over Roll it under If I got you by my side And the sky may howl With tons of thunder I don't need nowhere to hide And roll it over Roll it under If I got you by my side And the sky may howl And the city smolder I don't need nowhere to hide Its loud and its clear I don't need nowhere
