Street cleaners
Waking me
Flu-infected city
Prostitutes of sleep

Pummelled brain
Late L train
Manhattan rain
Terrible shame

Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the Sun from the couch

First Ave, stop
Fear of fate
Live forever
No escape

Human sound
City voice
Weighing down
Sickening noise

Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the Sun from the couch

Lost in a dream, but it wasn't oh well
Shook outta heaven, fell into hell

Stop all the clocks in my brain
Clog all the veins in the drains
Build a coffin around this house
Dismantle the Sun from the couch
