Steel screeches
On the track
Running away
Never going back
The sky turns black
The lights turn on
They burn my eyes
The night seems long
This is no city of angels
Danger wherever I turn
This city is like a fire
Everything starts to burn
I walk through blackness
I pass the screeching track
I'm running away
Never going back
On the track
Running away
Never going back
The sky turns black
The lights turn on
They burn my eyes
The night seems long
This is no city of angels
Danger wherever I turn
This city is like a fire
Everything starts to burn
I walk through blackness
I pass the screeching track
I'm running away
Never going back
