Boy leaves town, all gone in a whimper
In the herd, on an island in the sun
Not a single word to say
Back away, birds of prey, you can hide or you can
Live your life and show us how desperate you are
Let the sunshine give it away
What's the use now? Show us how desperate you are
Ask the sunshine, radiate or move out of the way
A punch in the face, tearing away some heat on a cold day
All highways look the same when you're heading nowhere
Fair enough, you'd say, you can't hide anywhere
And it's fair enough, you'd say
Fair enough, you'd say
Radiate or move out of the way
Will anybody ever miss you?
If you could change anything, would you?
I'm the shiv in the cuts
The gun to your guts
I'm the wound between us
And the rope tying us
I'm the salt in the scars
The vulture on the wire
I'm your city on fire
In the herd, on an island in the sun
Not a single word to say
Back away, birds of prey, you can hide or you can
Live your life and show us how desperate you are
Let the sunshine give it away
What's the use now? Show us how desperate you are
Ask the sunshine, radiate or move out of the way
A punch in the face, tearing away some heat on a cold day
All highways look the same when you're heading nowhere
Fair enough, you'd say, you can't hide anywhere
And it's fair enough, you'd say
Fair enough, you'd say
Radiate or move out of the way
Will anybody ever miss you?
If you could change anything, would you?
I'm the shiv in the cuts
The gun to your guts
I'm the wound between us
And the rope tying us
I'm the salt in the scars
The vulture on the wire
I'm your city on fire
