lyrics

In dedication
To city-nations
You’re all just hostages
Without chance of negotiation

And that hard sell
We know so well

Feeling so profound
Never looking down
Well, that glass-bottomed vessel
Has long since run aground

And that hard cell
Prisoners in hell

In love
With tragedy
Hostages
Hate unites
This city
Hostages
Just one big
Stand off
Hostages
Victim complex
That you love
Hostages

Heart string soft sell
Sorry for yourself

But perhaps you could tell me something:
What came first, the people or the buildings?
