Cold in the morning, warm in the night
Flowers in bloom, a beautiful sight
Skyscrapers and stadiums up, dilapidated apartments down
And no one seems to know their way around these highways
Bitten by panthers, stung by hornets
Digging for coal, but still finding love
A goldrush, a coin that someone had tossed
We send our hospitality to you
Spray cans in the night, a message in the morning
I only hope the words I say, say something to her
When the thing that we believe in, are things that we imagine
I imagine a king who wears a crown
The first time I lost, the first time I loved
The first man to play the way that he does, a warrior
Parking lots with sleeping cars, and highways full of life
And the mayor is at war with the state
Words I've never heard before, I couldn't know you and not love you
But somehow the dragon, he dances before we do
And all the kings men, London bridge is burning down
An invitation to a party
Just a state line, another division
That I'll never reach, when someone else does
A highway in the sky, a highway wrapped around the city
It could never take me where I need to go
