Here shall we live in this terrible town

Where the price for our eyes

Shall squeeze them tight like a fist

And the walls shall have eyes
Am
And the doors shall have ears

But we'll dance in their dark
Am
And they'll play with our lives

Like a slow burn

Leading us on and on and on

Like a slow burn

Turning us round and round and round

Hark who are we

So small in times such as these

Echoes in tenement halls

Who knows?

Though the years snare them all
