01 "Can't Escape the City - Short Shot"

  

Can’t Escape the City

Play to win, push or be shoved

Lust running wild, puts an end to your love

Neon signs light up the night

Just a kid too young to die

Born to run, fire inside

Chasing a dream, trying to find

A trace of light, out in the night

Never give up keep up the fight

Run away, leave it behind

Nothing to lose, biding your time

Secret prayers, washed away in the rain

Over and over, but its never the same

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

Fallin’ fast, such a pity tonight

Out on the streets, playin’ with fire

Runnin’ with the night, a burning desire

You’re just a kid caught up in a dream

Finding out things aren’t what they seem

Fighting to live, just for a day

Over and over, but it’s never the same

Trapped in the city, with nowhere to turn

Playin’ with fire, you’re gonna get burned

Run away, leave it behind

Nothing to lose, biding your time

Secret prayers, washed away in the rain

Over and over, but its never the same

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

Fallin’ fast, such a pity tonight

When the walls of your world

Are fallin’ down on you

The only thing you’ve ever known is to fight

You’ve got to carry on, to make your dreams come true

Yeah, be on top tonight

Run away, leave it behind

Nothing to lose, biding your time

Secret prayers, washed away in the rain

Over and over, but its never the same

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

You can’t escape the city

Tainted dreams are never pretty

Lost hopes such a pity tonight

Fallin’ fast, such a pity tonight
