you call to say you're going away
speak in code 
our voices shake
the pigs are much more clever
than we ever would've thought 

you call to say they're on their way
the lines are tapped 

nothing here is safe

just get out of gotham
all these cops want to bring us
down
open up your mouth sing it out
create a good space for the sound
I swear I swore you off forever 
then [bad word] around

this love is going to drag us down

clicks betray the calls been traced
lines collapse the static breaks 
connection left us severed
I stretch my limbs across

you call to say the anchor 
weighs the ocean down to
control the waves 

I'm getting out of gotham

all these cops are starting
to bring me 
down

we're better off alone together
we're better off alone together
we're better off alone together
