lyrics

do you know which locks get left unlocked?
i get bored of the bar, i found a better spot
to hold our treasured conversations
away from all those prying eyes

let me drop a pin, i got a place to meet
i leave a pair of bolt cutters under my back seat
call 'em the keys to the city
i call 'em the keys to the city, baby, yeah

you got a shit-eating grin and a beer between your thighs
i can tell where we're going from the look in your eyes
wherever i go it stays with me
no matter how far or long it's been

when i can hang my feet 40 stories down and see how far that i can spit, i kinda like this town
the special way you know a city you only get by walking around

i wanna feel the cold wet leaves somewhere out of sight
i found a tall boy's eyes in the park at night
just let the button on his levi’s cut into my thumb

i wanna feed you baby, give you what you need
they can lock up all the food, i made a copy of the key
and don't the world just make you a criminal
when you really try to love someone?

and you don't gotta talk about it
ain't nobody needs to know
jackie's got a six pack and another place to go

another rooftop conversation
tell you what i've been thinking about
kansas city's just as big as
that old field behind my house

but katie's got a junkyard
danny knows a bando
jackie's got a six pack
at a water tower only we know

i tell you under whispered half tones
there's something down in mississippi i found
in the corner of my dark thoughts
in an old abandoned shotgun house and

it's raining in a hotel pool and
casey's in a shut down school and
we watch a fire in a tenderloin apartment
sirens crying like they knew what that meant

dilapidation's on the inside
a city choking out the night sky
it's gonna be another late night:
whatever makes you feel alive
