VERSE 1:EThere's a breakdown on the runway, And the timeless flights are goneI'm a year ahead of myself these days, And I'm locomotive strongEMy city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous stateI can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fateCHORUS:And I won't break and I won't bendBut someday soon we'll sail awayTo innocence and the bitter endAnd I won't break and I won't bendAnd with the last breath we ever takeWe're gonna get back to the simple life againBRIDGE:VERSE 2:When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this placeUntil we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eightMy city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rockIf we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stopCHORUS[Solo]CHORUS (2x)OUTRO:A (fade)
