lyrics

I won't wait for the comet to kill us
Or sit cross-legged on the edge of a storm
I won't wait for the calmness of cities
When all of the people have killed their alarms

A long long long time it's going to take
And far far far away

A city of eyesores
A city of quakes
Home to the rainstorms
A city of snakes

A long long long time it's going to take
And far far far away

I kick back and I hear the transmissions
I wonder if I expect anything at all
I won't wait for the winds of the winter
Coming out of the coldest of halls

A long long long time it's going to take
And far far far away

A city of eyesores
A city of quakes
Home to the rainstorms
A city of snakes
