lyrics

I know a city that cradles me on its shoulders
Its nails are blackened, with asphalt and morning-after pukers
Its alleys are heady, with odours that make you take cover
Its night bus abandons, while sweet grass and street smoke still hovers

But now, the wind is louder than you'd like but colder now you're older
Streetcar deafening the night you called me Other
Brimming beer and sweet perfume, he became bolder
Streetcar deafening the night you called me Other

I know a city that cradles me on its shoulders
Its towers birth nightly, and screw in the un-subwayed hours
Its teeth are unhinging, gnawing new tastes to change its demeanour
It's fighting back daily, with arrows like poison-tipped lovers

But now, the wind is louder than you'd like but colder now you're older.
Streetcar deafening the night you called me Other
Brimming beer and sweet perfume, he became bolder
Streetcar deafening the night you called me Other

I know a city that cradles me on its shoulders
It let me down May ninth in an alleyway at Dundas and Bathurst
Bruising and broken, I crawled to where cab light still glimmered
Savage and drunken, he fled to a subway, the coward

But cities aren't people, people aren't cities
Cities aren't people, people aren't cities
Yet we fuck them both bloody
Treat trauma with apathy
Give our trust wrongly
All the same.
