As the time goes by
Through the days and the nights
As the years become hours
As it slips on by
The city and the river
They flow so deep
But the people run around
And they never sleep
As it slips on by
As it slips on by
We're sifting through the trash
Sitting on cash
Swimming upstream
It aint what it seems
The buildings crumbling
What can we do
Do we build it back up
Or let it fall through
As it slips on by
As it slips on by
Stars don't line those city streets
When we find (As it slips on by)
Stars are sitting in my head
When we find (As it slips on by)
All the banter in the back
It don't matter to me
Don't let them take it back
You can't have it for free
Flying through the tunnels
Like there's nothing above
Always running late
That you forget you're in love
Stars don't line those city streets
When we find (As it slips on by)
Stars are sitting in my head
When we find (As it slips on by)
