Cause I've been chained to the city lights. You better run before the city takes your soul.
I don't wanna be another creep
Cause I won't cry and I won't sleep
And I don't wanna give you another reason
It's anyone's luck in this row of people
As I won't wake up
Darling, I won't wake up
It's hardly a phase in the art of leaving
Cause you're never gonna see me again
I said I love you, and I told you from the start
I said I loved you, but to never break my heart
Cause I've been chained to the city lights. You better run before the city takes your soul.
Cause I've been chained to the city lights. You better run before the city takes your soul.
It's like no one ever wants you, so you better leave and replace the ways of old.
I don't wanna be some stand in show
Cause I can read and I can sew
I could not bear another social season
I'm caught on fire while I hide in the snow
As I won't wake up
Darling, I won't wake up
You're rarely prepared for the loudest speakers
And you're never gonna hear me again
I said I love you, and I told you from the start
I said I loved you, but to never break my heart
Cause I've been chained to the city lights. You better run before the city takes your soul.
Cause I've been chained to the city lights. You better run before the city takes your soul.
It's like no one ever wants you, so you better leave and replace the ways of old.
It's like no one ever listens cause you're better here for all the reasons left unknown.
