This City Kills Lyrics

Another day's gone by,
and I've still got all my pieces in place
I have to say that I'm amazed,
I've been fooling traffic and alcohol,
cigarettes and medicine and so on
I've done it all, and I'm still going strong
But there's no doubt about this city holds a lot of thrills
But it ain't got no substitute for mountains and hills
And the children always end up popping pills
And the radio keeps saying this city kills

Oh baby, I need you to catch me when I fall (x2)

Another day's gone by
and this city is getting ready to explode
That's what it feel like anyway,
but how would I know
But I can't sit around and wait
for something to happen no more
That's why I'm walking right out of that door
There's no doubt about this city holds a lot of thrills
But it ain't got no substitute for mountains and hills

And all the children always end up popping pills
And on the radio the newsman always
keeps repeting that this city kills
Oh baby, I need you to catch me when I fall
To catch me when I fall
Oh baby, I need you to catch me when I fall

I'm driving my car through the pouring rain
Wash off all the wounds, and leave no stains
Being out, looking in, makes me feel more sane
I'm never driving in to look out again

Oh baby, I need you to catch me when I fall
To catch me when I fall (x2)
