Death In New Burnswick Lyrics

Death In New Burnswick lyrics

You told me on your birthday 
all the things that
this place had done to
you.
And in the streets you walk, 
you hide your face cause
they don't
believe it's true.
They say it doesn't happen that often
but it's
happening right now 

CHORUS:
I'm writing you this 
letter to let
you know 
I'm not all right
and in this city
the streets are paved
with hate
so you can cry yourself to sleep tonight, 
and say
no there
aren't enough love songs in the sky

You're counting down the days till
you can say
bye bye city bye-bye
You're walking down on Union, 
you
see the roads 
and know they're a part of you.
They say it doesnt happen
that often
But it's happening right now

CHORUS:
I'm writing you a
second time 
to let you know
Nothing here has changed
The streets:
still paved with hate
So you can cry yourself to sleep tonight

Will
you look back on this night 
As the day that ruined your life.
Will you
look back on these city streets and say,
"Oh, God, what
happened...

With these city streets I hide my face.
I turn away when
you look at me. 
And every night when I try and sleep, 
I feel your hands
all over my body.

You stripped away the street signs
and you shot out
all the stop lights.
You smashed away the buildings, 
what would you have
left?
