Ends Of The City

On the very day my travel card expired I rode the train All day And took it to the place each line retired The fate of every train Oh (oh) Oh (oh) Oh (oh) If some authority had stopped to ask me why I'd stare blankly at My knees To see the city from that point on every line Where buildings kiss the trees Now I believe, I believe, I believe The move seems impossible But I will leave, I will leave, I will leave If you can't live there I want to quote the city's history books verbatim And know the names of all The bars Be nicer to that guy upstairs although I hate him And stop littering in other people's cars Now I believe, I believe, I believe The move seems impossible But I will leave, I will leave If you can't live there Now tracks they take me backs to you I go And night descends On wires And TV lights reflect off every window Like blue flickering fires Now I believe, I believe, I believe There's a house, a street, to plant your feet And I will leave, I will leave, I will leave If you can't live there If you can't live there --- Ends of the City - Darren Hanlon
