Nil B. B. - The City

Gas station closed now, trains ain't running at this time of night
We can follow the lane down this way or make a left
Either way there's time to get lost and find our way again, right
Cause far as I know we just wasting tomorrow the way we know best
The glass facades reflecting warped lights mirror feelings for you
Rooftop playground for a better view
I remember school playground where homies tried locking each other's bikes
Same night I ended up losing you from my sight
In Bangkok, staring out the balcony of 2709
Where the fuck do I go from here, feeling it for the first time
Reflecting on how I fucked it up years ago and where that has put you
While I just stare out into the unknown city lights
While I just stare out into the unknown city lights, city lights, ahhh
The city's got me in a free-fall
The city's got me in a free-fall
The city's got me in, got, got me in a free-fall
While I just stare out into the unknown city lights, lights
Target practice with cans while propped up on trees
Left some things outside the tent when we went into town that night
A six-pack in my hand, bottle thrown through the leaves
Water pouring out, always said we'd get in a fight
Yeah, it's fun to talk about without ever doing shit
The road that led through those suburbs, at the end the stadium silhouette
A few of its lights hitting against the cobalt the only sign of life
Apart from some drunk bikers joking that they got a knife
Told Seb that motel apartment complex reminds me of the States
Just like the dealerships around the gas station where he spent that coupon
Sun setting near twelve, after that's when we met up with the rest
Through windows of houses here and there party lights shine, no people in sight
Walked back by the lake and the tracks in the pitch dark
Just a flashlight or two cutting through
Showing lone houses, walls and boats
Some stairs down to the right led somewhere we tried finding but couldn't
I was thinking, girl, I should do this with you, but know that you wouldn't
No, you wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't
You wouldn't, no
Cause
The city's got you in a free-fall
The city's got you in a free-fall
The city's got you in, got, got you in a free-fall
While I just stare out into the unknown city lights, lights
