Take back the city
for yourself tonight
I'll take back
the city for me
Take back the city
for yourself tonight
woah oh
God knows you
put your life into
its hands
And it's both
cradled you
and crushed
But now it's time
to make your
own demands
woah oh
All these years later
and it's killing me
Your broken records
in words
Ten thousand craters
where it all should be
woah oh
No need to put
your words
into my mouth
Don't need
convincing at all
I love this place
enough to have
no doubt
woah oh
It's a mess
it's a start
it's a flawed work of art
Your city
your call
every crack
every wall
Pick a side
pick a fight
get your epitaph
right
You can sing
'til you drop
'cause the fun
just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth
like a right
and spits me out
after days
But we're all
gluttons for it
we know it's wrong
and it's right
For every time
it's been hit
take back
the city tonight
Tell me you never
wanted more
than this
And I will stop
talking now
One perfect partner
one eternal kiss
woah oh
Take back the city
for yourself tonight
I'll take back
the city for me
Take back the city
for yourself tonight
woah oh
It's a mess
it's a start
it's a flawed work of art
Your city
your call
every crack
every wall
Pick a side
pick a fight
get your epitaph
right
You can sing
'til you drop
'cause the fun
just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth
like a right
and spits me
out after days
But we're all
gluttons for it
we know it's wrong
and it's right
For every time
it's been hit
take back the
city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth
like a right
and spits me out
after days
But we're all
gluttons for it
we know it's wrong
and it's right
For every time
it's been hit
take back the
city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
