Lyrics As Cities Burn

As Cities Burn

Petty

Is this it at the top? I didn't know there was not a ceiling

Or that the air up here was so thin

I just want my wanting to stop, I know you warned us of drought

We didn't believe it, now we can't keep water from freezing

You are just in time to move aside

No one ever comes here stays for long

You're gonna be dethroned

You're gonna shed your pride overgrown

And there's a kid on the cover

And I know that he doesn't believe

In the misery that he sings

Yeah, it's just what he thinks he needs

If all the world's a stage then it's not mine

'Cause no eye ever stays on you for long

You're gonna be dethroned

You're gonna shed your pride, it keeps growing

And you are just in time to move aside

No one ever comes here stays for long

You're gonna be dethroned

You're gonna shed your pride

If all the world's a stage then it's not mine

'Cause no eye ever stays on you for long

Yeah, you're gonna be dethroned

You're gonna shed your pride, overgrown
