Mischief Brew - From The Rooftops Lyrics

I see the city from my roof
Scrape the sky and piss the moon.
I toss a brick and hit a bottle.

I used to have such a fiery soul
Now it's full of cigarette holes.
But scars tell better stories.

You're just copper under water
Your hope is just a dream
Till you mix truth and purity.
What a hell of a hangover
You won't find me under ground.
On the rooftops I'll be found.

Well I'll spit on your fuse
And twist you out under my shoe.
Yeah go ahead and knock it down, child
It's nothing new.

I'll just watch the buildings burn
So wake me up when you've freed the earth.
You say I've sold my values
Yeah, but you paid for the view.

It's just copper under water
Your hope is just a dream
Till you mix truth and purity.
What a hell of a hangover
You won't find me under ground.
On the rooftops I'll be found.

I see the city from my roof
Like a foreign land from a family room
Oh, how I once detested it's abuse.
Now the lights all look like stars
And there's solice from afar.
I toss a smoke and watch it tumble
Into the whisper of passing cars.

Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops I'll be found.
Well on the rooftops lookin' down.
