about

Song by Mark Flowers & Katie Rottner

lyrics

he didn't know his family
he was raised by a holy vow
he’s crying spanish whiskey just for now

he’s working for the empire
an accent like a king
we’re sitting out this window balcony

Saying this old thing can’t hold our weight
what a poor excuse for an escape
if there is a fire
I guess I’ll climb higher
but you’re on your own to get away
i can’t speak to your getaway

This street’s named for a statue
carved to life from ancient ivory
the man who loved her thought she didn't see

But she warmed up to his embrace
and opened up her eyes
we look down on it and we think we're wise

But this old thing can’t hold our weight
it’s a poor excuse for an escape
if there is a fire
then i’ll climb higher
but i can’t speak to your getaway

I used to worry i was wrong
now i just hurry along
the room stops dancing at 4
the people go outside
beyond that i don’t think we share our lives

It’s late as hell in this old city
Sun’s up where I’m from
leaving tomorrow and i’m glad to be done

Cuz this old thing can’t hold our weight
it’s a poor excuse for an escape
if there is a fire
then i’ll climb higher
but i can’t speak to your getaway
