simple life

Lyrics

there's a breakdown on the runway, and the timeless flights are gone, i'm a year ahead of myself these days, and i'm locomotive strong, my city spread like cannon fire, in a yellow nervous state, i can't cut the ties that bind me, to horoscopes and fate, and i won't break and i won't bend, but someday soon we'll sail away, to innocence and the bitter end, and i won't break and i won't bend, and with the last breath we ever take, we're gonna get back to the simple life again, when we break out of this blindfold, i'm gonna take you from this place, until we're free from this ball and chain, i'm still hard behind the eight, my city beats like hammered steel, on a shallow cruel rock, if we could walk proud after midnight, we'd never have to stop
