Take Back The City lyrics

Take back the city for yourself tonight I'll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight God knows you've put your life into his hands And it's both cradled you and crushed But now it's time to make your own demands All these years later and it's killing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be No need to put your words into my mouth Don't need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt 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, but get your epitaph right Or you can sing till you drop, 'cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bares its teeth like a light 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 Take back the city for yourself tonight I'll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight 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, but get your epitaph right Or you can sing till you drop, 'cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bares its teeth like a light 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
