The serengeti New York City, in the morning All the loneliness can kill you like a gun And you start well just you're hard until your good gill All so loaded up with lead you cannot stand And you can't tell the ocean from the land Started like a night (oooh) Caught under your skin like it's light But if You're gonna ignite (oooh) Don't let the sad creatures cover your light They've got no teeth left to bite (oooh) They just wanna kill your Saturday night But it's ok it's alright Oh how 'bout I'm not afraid of the heights? There's just no reason to fly I couldn' t if I tried. Sweet forgiveness give me back the hours I've wasted Tryin' to change the Mississippi into wine I'll light a cigarette between the words I'm speaking And feel them change inside my mouth back into sand Started like a night (oooh) Caught under your skin like it's light But if you're gonna ignite (oooh) Don't let the sad creatures cover your light They've got not teeth left to bite (oooh) They just wanna kill your Saturday night But it's OK it's right Oh how 'bout I'm not afraid of the heights? There's no just reason to fly I couldn't if I tried Even if I tried down into the basement When you can see the sky sit here wasting, wasting my time My time gets wasted Even if I tried down into the basement When you can see the sky sit here wasted, wasting my time My time gets wasted
