Our City Blues

from The Unstoppable EP by Stereo Goes Stellar

lyrics

Smoke fades, the plant stops running,
It cascades, the pilot light is burning out,
Tough breaks, relief is never coming,
Only time can fix what broke this town.

No pay, the bell stops sounding,
This phase, are we ever getting out?
We pray for a swift rebounding,
Are we too astray to come back around?

This town, this city,
Someday I'll leave it all behind,
I know it all comes with me,
You can't get the smokestacks off your mind.

Hearts break, but the blood keeps pumping,
Cold shakes, our legs resort to giving out,
Long days, the end is never coming,
Only certain death will slow us down.

She says, "My heart keeps pounding,
There's no way that our fire is every burning out,"
With her gaze and warmth surrounding,
Our shivers disappear along with doubt,

Of this town, this city,
Someday I'll leave it all behind,
But baby, please come with me,
I just can't get you off my mind.

I believe in a world I've conceived from the hearts and minds of our own broken dreams,
Where they can promise us trust and we'll feel that with time we can heal,
I can promise you love and you'll see that you're safe here beside me.

Heartbreak comes and we forget it,
The names comprise the ending credits,
Tomorrow makes the front page news,
While yesterday sings our city's blues.

They say that this town's depleting and the industry is leaving,
And I should be leaving too,
But you'll be seeing that I'm not leaving,
Not without you.
