[Verse 2]
Once more walking into town
You make the calls, I keep my eyes to the ground
In waves of anticipation
Breaking vows as I make them
To chase that dream just one last time around
(chase that dream just one last time around)
Bad karma hangs like cancerous lanterns
A poisonous glow
A poisonous glow
When the house lights turn reveal cigarette burns and the tired line
Of last night's cries of despair
That emanate from the underpass and echo back to anywhere
(to anywhere) x5
