The snow on the screen we're going light speed tonight Like Bonnie & Clyde except we don't die tonight And the blister packs coats and crumpled up notes appear It's a break from the swill, the piss they distill around here A break from the swill, the piss they distill around here Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down, I wish I wish My first degree emergency Is kettled by your cavalry
I wish I wish The cash machine queens when ambulance teams arrive
In their skeletal jeans they take Refugees for wives When their collars get felt their glorified belts won't keep 'em warm
And we'll run up the strand, your wrist in my hand We know we're born Yeah I know I'm born Yeah I know I'm born Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down I wish I wish My first degree emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry I wish I wish And when all of your friends are my enemies Wishing me gone as I'm running away And my only defence is the worst of me Out in the open for all to survey When you settle for less than I promised you Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped If it seems like it's harder to say to you It's cause some things are just harder to say Lift off of this Metropolis When this town comes down I wish I wish
