Greasy food and piss and shit
Drugs and guns and good people and bad people
Love and loss and doubt and pain
Hunger, love and broken dreams
It's all here
Under these grey skies
the rain keeps falling
Under grey skies
the people keep on walking on
My family loves me very much
they told me so just before I came here
Trying to make a legacy
so they can be proud of me when I'm gone
So pickle me in Formaldehyde
and put my head on your mantelpiece
so I can look at you all the time
Living, breathing sweaty air
Passing through the lungs of all the people
Love and loss and doubt and pain
Never to return again to this place
So hold me stranger on the train
Hold me woman at the bus stop
Hold me taxi driver, late at night
Hold me woman in the supermarket
Hold me stranger on the subway
Hold me so I can sleep tonight
