| There was a fire in the alley
|
| All the rats had fled the scene
|
| The bottleneck of human traffic and their mobile phones
|
| Could not preserve the memory
|
| All of the photos and the stories
|
| Quickly buckled under weights
|
| The bureaucratic indignation
|
| And its red ticker tape parade
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| I call upon the prosecution
|
| Please identify your case
|
| The star witness from the counsel
|
| Quickly put them in their place
|
| He laid his plans out on the table
|
| As all our promises were sold
|
| To build a temple of consumption
|
| Where stood a temple of the soul
|
| He said
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| The city
|
| The city
|
| Imagine it there
|
| Imagine it there
|
| The city
|
| The city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| There looking oh so pretty
|
| Oh you could hear the shrieks from miles
|
| As they tore straight through the glass
|
| A ghostly choir resurrected
|
| As they await some bass guitars
|
| Their gig is set upon the carcass
|
| With broken hearts we watched fall
|
| The cornerstone of this fine city
|
| A monument to urban sprawl
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty
|
| This would be good for the city
|
| Imagine it there looking oh so pretty |
