Issue No 106 Mannequins Lyrics

Yesterday I took the city with my friends
We were walking down the highest road that I'd ever been
With the sun applying tan across our faces
We were worn down to the ground
But we'd seen so many places, and as the weather
Left to bring a new rise, we saw buildings in the sky
We thought we'd never find them, bodies leaving light behind
We were the only ones left to find us
And we will go, and nobody can find us
I'll leave you in the morning light, holding lighters to the sky
We'll escape into the night, we'll escape into the night
And as the city scene approaches we'll grow old
But none the wiser to the fact it's getting cold
And as the lights begin to dim we'll go missing
Casting mannequins of people to assemble in the city
But hold me like the winds, the company I've missed
And that's the only thing, we will go, and nobody can find us
I'll leave you in the morning light, holding lighters to the sky
And we will go, setting self with the city
Because we died for our sins, we died for our chance
We left the girl that made us worth living
And we will go where nobody can find us
Where nobody can find us, I'll leave inside the morning light
Holding lighters to the sky, we'll escape into the night
And we will go, setting self with the city
Because we died for our sins, we died for the chance
To be left with the girl who made us worth living
It falls into place, like a satellite falls and breaks
The city falls back to me, won't you fall back to me
It falls into place, like a satellite falls and breaks
The city falls back to me, won't you fall back
Yesterday I left the city with my friends, both
We were walking down the highest road that I'd ever known
With the sun applying tan across our faces
Worn down to the ground but we'd seen so many places
