The Lawrence Arms - Key To The City Lyrics

Send "Key To The City" ringtone to your cell

I sat with the drunks and the speed freaks

And I watched all the drones strolling by.

We sat on the street with our beers and our weed

And we blew our smoke up towards the sky.

I said, "It's one hell of an evening"

With a smile and I kicked back my can.

They shooed us away so we walked down aways

And we did the same damn thing again.

Now, I got nothing to wait for

And I got nothing but time.

So I'll swim in these streams

And warm these poor beaten insides.

Gimme the key to the city

These midwest eyes are dead tonight.

This demon smile is aching to explode.

Let's gather our bones, our guts and our hearts

And scream so they'll hear us down in those parks.

Under those trees

Where the pigs lurk and crawl

There are bonfires and parties

That are fucking them all.

They give it by the inch

And take it by the mile.

It's one for the beating and

It's two for the trial.

They got nothing to wait for

And we got nothing but time

So I'll swim in these streams

(Drown in these dirty streams)

(Till I die)

Gimme the key to the city

These midwest eyes are dead tonight.

This demon smile is aching to explode.

(Let's burn out here 1000 miles from home)

I ain't here to remember!

I ain't here to breakdown!

Gimme the key to the city

These midwest eyes are dead tonight.

This demon smile is aching to explode.

Let's burn out here 1000 miles from home.

I know what I got and

I love what I know.

Don't wait up!
