Went To The City Lyrics - Breaks In The Armor - Crooked Fingers

Went to the city for the drugs and dancing 

She lights up pretty from so far away come closer 

You come and go alone you don't stand a chance 

It wants too much to see you crash and crumble 

To let you die out on the road 

Come stumbling homeward 

We all know you and how you're not ever coming back 

I keep moving but I'm getting nowhere 

The neighborhoods we used to roam have all been stolen 

She was my homegirl but I feel no connection to her now 

We take a little from the devil's coffer 

They get you hooked then let you go and crossing over 

You never know how far unless you take the chance 

Wasting my time inside snake oil shelter 

It's much too much to take the whole thing on your shoulders 

To carry everyone caught believing in you down 

I keep on going but I'm getting nowhere 

Watching the people on the road out on their own cold 

You come and go alone you don't stand a chance
