Brick City - Strange Names

Time won’t travel

In a ripple city

The hours unravel

When the nights get rid of me

A systematic sin

Of all the reveling

The seconds wearing thin

Brought what I said I’d bring

I got a hex on a handsome devil

Who won’t return my calls

The second strings along

But the bomb’s already dropped

Why do I feel so good

Why do I feel so dry

Was under the impression

Overtaken by a guise

The wait’s so slow

It’s like summer

Like growing old

Just an afterglow

I hit the wall

'Cause I can’t work

In a brick city

In a brick city

I’m gonna throw it all away

'Cause I can’t stay

In a brick city

In a brick city

I can’t find a match

To compliment

My psycho sequence

Who acts that fragile

Unless they’re sinking

I get a palm reading

But what do they really know

You’re from a broken home

And the going’s slow

It’s just a show

Hit it out of the park

A great place to start

I know you’ll wait for me there

Don’t sound the alarm

I mean no harm

Baby you ought to be careful

Baby you ought to be careful
