lyrics

Gentrify, stratify, catch the last express to paradise
Tickets cost a tidy price in the city soon to fossilize

Close up shop, waive your claim, and let the market regulate
Leaving town, desolate a generation born to liquidate
So catch the train, if you can, it's the last express to paradise
Watered down with melted ice

There comes a time that you might just find a stranger in your bedsheets
And you picked them up for an easy fuck, and you finally ask yourself

Would it be so wrong to want a little more?
Is this really all that I can be?
Life could be so lovely
If I could find the time
But my twenty thirty thirties called
I owe him money

Would it be so wrong to join a cover band
And rest my head on someone else's songs?
(But, let me tell ya you'll make a lot of money)
Water down my passion
And sabotage my dreams
My twenty ten thirteens just called
I owe him that at least

Would it be so wrong to chase the real thing
And fuck it up with purpose and with pride?
(But, let me tell ya you'll die without a penny)
City's full of spiders
And pitcher plants so sweet
I drank my fill, but I'm no fuller
Checked the can, and it was sugar-free

There comes a time that you might just find you're sleeping in on Mondays
Giving all you got didn't change a lot, and you finally ask yourself

Is it worth it
Putting on a smile to make them happy?
They said that we would fly high
We were never gonna die
Oh!
Were they oblivious, or telling us a lie?
The verdict's out on that
But the City of the Flies was not as advertised
What's the fucking point?

There comes a time that you might just find a stranger in the mirror
It's cliché, but god, you know it's true
