Send "Electric City" Ringtone to your Cell

You were thrown into a tin can 
And you learned how to beg and borrow 
And you grew into a thin man 
In the land of success, sin and sorrow 
Now you're sleeping in a suitcase 
With a pill bottle for a pillow 
When you're hanging by a shoelace 
It can get to be hard to swallow 

When you're spinning on the subway 
Naked lights sent in on the river 
No you're never gonna leave her 
Though you think someday that you might forgive her 
Slipping into a slow dive 
Cold black water makes you follow 
Swimming into a spiral 
Still you're singing 

Shine, electric city, shine 
In the cool of your emptiness 
Around the curve of your spine [bad word] on and shine, electric city, shine 
Like six thousand wings in the sky 
Over the scene of the crime 

When [bad word] to an ending 
Never reaching no conclusion 
And you're sick of bending 
In us and every fresh contusion 
When you're lying in the soft arms 
Of a silent ambulance that's speeding 
And you're trying to tell the doctor that it's only a broken heart 

You don't have to be a soldier to fight 
But you'd better have a killer in you 
You don't have to be a poet to die 
It's the little things that kill you 
Everybody gets a bad break 
little hit of pain and sorrow 
Just forget about tomorrow 
Keep on singing 

Shine, electric city, shine 
From the back of the cold beyond 
Out to the end of the line [bad word] on and shine, electric city, shine 
Like the sun in a hurricane's eye 
Diamonds drowning in brine  [bad word] on and shine 
Shine 
Shine 
Shine
