Parking the cars in the underground

Their voices when they scream, well they make no sound

I wanna see the cities rust

and the trouble makers riding on the back of the bus

F
Dear god i'm a good christian man
In your glory, I know you understand

She can sing like a bird in a cage

Into the light of the bridge that burns
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned

Into the black of a starless sky

So you better just stay close and hold on to me

If my little mockingbird don't sing
