There's no hope
This is a terminal city
But don't they make it pretty
Don't they make it nice
I'm alright
I'm making all of my payments
I'm keeping off the pavement
I'm keeping up with the time
I don't need to worry about those empty buildings
Or the garbage spilling
They'll clean it up overnight
I'm safe inside
I paint the walls around me
'Til all I see is beauty
'Til everything is alright
And all night long I can hear you calling
Crawling your way under my skin
Somewhere deep within
I'm wide awake and staring at the ceiling
I'm feeling scratches inside my head
This is a terminal city
But don't they make it pretty
Don't they make it nice
I'm alright
I'm making all of my payments
I'm keeping off the pavement
I'm keeping up with the time
Or the garbage spilling
They'll clean it up overnight
I'm safe inside
I paint the walls around me
'Til all I see is beauty
'Til everything is alright
Crawling your way under my skin
Somewhere deep within
I'm wide awake and staring at the ceiling
I'm feeling scratches inside my head
