I read London as a kid um because I, even though, you know
It was pretty chaotic in my head, and I'm very hyper
I still am hyperactive, but

Hear the sound of the pounding street
Like a sentimental murmur in a heartbeat
A palpitation on the edge of town
Echoes through the streets

On the pavement and kick the drum
Sound the alarm to ease attention
Heart of the city is breaking down
Underneath my feet

My head is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down

There's a shadow hanging over this fucking town
Everyone's breaking down
Breaking

Through the subways and the underground
Gotta keep my feet on the ground now
Pick up the pace and don't be late
Hurry up and wait

Run for cover and hit the lights
Everybody's running for their lifetime
Time is money and the rent is high
When there's hell to pay

My head is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down

There's a shadow hanging over this fucking town
Everyone's breaking
(Oh, oh!)

Hear the sound of the pounding street
Like a sentimental murmur in a heartbeat
A palpitation on the edge of town
Echoes through the streets

Run for cover and hit the lights
Everybody's running for their lifetime
Time is money and the rent is high
When there's hell to pay

My head is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down
(Three, four!)

Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down (hear the sound of the pounding)
Breaking down (all of the city is breaking)
Breaking down (hear the sound of the pounding)
Breaking down (all of the city is breaking)
Breaking
