We lost our minds in cities
Burned cigarettes into old ashtrays
Made love in crowded daybeds
In cities, beautiful cities

We lost our minds in cities
Burned police cars into metallic explosions
Made bombs in moody basements
In cities, beautiful cities

We lost our minds in cities
Burned arms into delicious pink scars
Made murderers in prisons weep
In cities, beautiful cities

We died in cities
Burned bridges into midnight ash
Made peace in our fading hearts
In cities, beautiful cities
