The Hold Steady All Through The City Lyrics

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
I gotta get a move, I'm looking for a place to go
Have money in my pocket, looking forward that I know.

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty.

See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time
Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain
Look into the sky, the sky is full of airplanes.

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty

Walking in the main drag pass the afternoon away
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time

I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching, I've been searching,
All through the city, all through the city
Shiny cars, shiny cars, shiny cars driving round detecting crime
