Went To the City

                                  Went to the city for the drugs and dancing

She lights up pretty from so far away come closer

You come and go alone you don't stand a chance



It wants too much to see you crash and crumble

To let you die out on the road

Come stumbling homeward

We all know you and how you're not ever coming back



I keep moving but I'm getting nowhere

The neighborhoods we used to roam have all been stolen

She was my homegirl but I feel no connection to her now



We take a little from the devil's coffer

They get you hooked then let you go and crossing over

You never know how far unless you take the chance



Wasting my time inside snake oil shelter

It's much too much to take the whole thing on your shoulders

To carry everyone caught believing in you down



I keep on going but I'm getting nowhere

Watching the people on the road out on their own cold

You come and go alone you don't stand a chance
