This City Will Kill You Songtext
von Garbage

We were young
Out on the scene
Life so loud
And so much fun
And the party boys
In their pretty clothes
Everybody′s got it going on
Everybody's got it going on

On the way home
Just to score one
In the daytime
In the downtown
And the lights are shining
And the girls are dancing
All the lights are sparkling
And the drugs are working

This city will kill you
This city will kill you


Everybody is praying that it rains
It′s been promised now for days
But the sun is high in the sky again
You go out at night
And you nurse your pain

You got to get out
You got to get out
You got to run
Gotta quit this town
You got to get out
You got to get out
You got to run
Gotta quit this town tonight
'Cause this city will kill you

You've got to wake up
And figure things out
You′re getting too old
They′ll walk over your bones when you're cold
(When you′re cold)
This city will kill you


Why was I
Why was I
The one to survive
The one to survive
The one who
The one who
Didn't succumb, didn′t succumb?

Gotta quit this town
You gotta quit this town tonight

You got to get out
You got to get out
You got to run
Gotta quit this town
You got to get out
You got to get out
You got to run
Gotta quit this town tonight
This city will kill you
You gotta quit this town
Got to get out
You gotta quit this town tonight
Got to get out, got to get out, got to get out
Got to get out, got to get out
