Give Me One Good Reason

A million angry cars tear up the street\nRunning like a river in the heat\nShimmering in pools of dust and steam\nI shelter in the slot machine arcade\nShutting out a pulse that I can feel\nLike some deceitful doll the future told me lies\nI can only see that now, the smoke is in my eyes\nGimme one good reason\nI should stay for one more heartbeat\nGimme one good reason\nNot to turn and walk away\nGimme one good reason\nI should build my life in concrete\nGimme one good reason\nAnd I’ll give you one more day\nOne more day\nReflected in the glass above the crowd\nI can hear the light rays crying out\nFlying through the purple city sky\nThe circling machine that fills my head\nAnswering the question left unsaid\nI step into the street to say goodbye\nLike some unfaithful love\nThe promise leads me on\nI can see it dancing through your smoke\nAnd then it’s gone\nThe time slips by\nThe tears I cry\nAnd yet for all these lies\nI feel like I’m wasted here\nI can leave this city now\nThe smoke will disappear
