Giving It Up lyrics

Can't get off the ground in this holding pattern town They put these buildings up just to bring me down And I don't trust my friends any more than I trust the cops Any more than I trust this dirty air that's burning up my lungs So I'm giving it up I'm giving it up I'm giving it up for good So I'm giving it up I'm giving it up I'm giving it up for good My baby looks at me like her long lost prince of thieves Sometimes it's not enough to get only what you need And I know I need her like the concrete needs the rain Like a drunk needs ice in his glass like a ball needs a chain I'm giving it up I'm giving it up I'm giving it up for good So I'm giving it up I'm giving it up I'm giving it up for good This is paradise The place you come to die I'm giving it up I'm giving it up I'm giving it up for good
