Early morning in the city of ashes
Waking up to the morning show
Heading downstairs to greet the pavement
Gotta walk helicopter jones
Need some coffee and the local paper
Seeing people I don’t really know
Street sweeping away the garbage
All in front of the convenience store
I’ll go anywhere you wanna go
Afternoon in the city of ashes
There’s never any fucking place to park
Shadows moving from bench to bench
Smoking cigarettes and talking art
What do people all do for their money?
During the day when I’m at my desk
Skateboarding and walking barefoot
Riding mopeds over all the trash
I’ll go anywhere you wanna go
Late night in the city of ashes
Seeing people I don’t want to know
Walking crooked and driving reckless
Headed to the convenience store
Bought a sandwich and coconut water
I gotta walk helicopter jones
Spinning ceilings above the mattress
Drifting off to the danger zone
