Handsome Furs Hate This City

Woke up with blankets in buildings with jaws

Stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon

We wish for night time, a darkening screen

Open the heart, just a machine

Oh, there was home

Oh, there was home

This one is vicious, a sinister lean

We haunted the staircase where small ghosts have been

Weening that heaven was stretched out and wide

Into the sky

Into the sky

Oh, there was home

Oh, there was home

Oh, life is long and hollow

Oh, life is long and hollow

Oh, life is long and hollow

Oh, life is long and hollow

We hate this city, filled its drone

We hate this city, filled its drone

We hate this city, filled its drone

We hate this city, filled its drone

So black out million screens

And wire up the floor

Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want

But you won't know what it's for

So black out a million dreams

And wire up all the floors

Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want

But you won't know what it's for
