Tin Laurels

When you got to the city You had two hundred dollars A photo of your father You thought that that was all you'd need (Party all night wont stop until the dawn) (Party all night, drink until we're gone) Once you got settled in your corner Out your dirty window Was a four-story monster Wearing the outline of a crown Graffito coronation (Party all night wont stop until the dawn) (Party all night, drink until we're gone) He was up on every billboard You heard him on the air Every meal from tin cans You listen to your neighbors pray "He takes all the desperation away" Don't give up on this city I'm no different from you And I need you (Has anyone ever been in love like this?) I need you (Has anyone, anywhere, ever been in love like this?) And I need you (Has anyone been in love like this?) Has anyone, anywhere? Paper idols in their tin laurels We will take them as they come And we will take them as they come Paper idols in their tin laurels We will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will Take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come And we will take them as they come
