Wildlife: Downtown heartbreak [lyrics]

Wildlife

Downtown heartbreak

Yeah neon city

Shinin' like jewels in the sky

Diamond too high for me

You're the love of my life

Like a woman, a mystery to me

But you won't let me see just who you are

I watch you walk

Like a ghost through your streets

Nothing to hear

But the sound of my own feet

Takin' my time

Breathin' your air

But it's so hot

You know this pleasure's just not fair

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Well back on the streets

The only place to be free

The people that are...oh yeah

Well it's a perfect disguise

To handle your lies

There's thousands of eyes

And they're lookin' at me

Well I'm scared by your silence

Stunned by your noise

Feel just like shoutin'

I can't seem to find my voice

Do all these people

Feel just the same

Trapped by your magic

Well they're caught in your game

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Take it up, boys

...downtown

Well I'm down on the street

The place to be free

The people that are...

Well it's a perfect disguise

To handle your lies

There's thousands of eyes

And they're lookin' at me

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak

Downtown heartbreak
