[Verse 1]
There's a place I know
Yeah it's filled with smoke
Where the despair meets the rope
(See the dreams and the paint on the buildings)
Overgrown and still
I feel it in my throat
There's a place I know, place I know

[Chorus]
The city that breathes
(This is a city that breathes)
The smoke through the streets
(Choke on the dust and the chemicals)
Then line up to plead for the money they need
This is a city that breathes
(This is a city that breathеs)

[Verse 2]
On these nights we see thе devil to be
Water runs, [?]
We watch it flow through the streets
From the mountain high to the rust below
There's a place I know, place I know, place I know

[Chorus]
(This is a city that breathes)
The smoke through the streets
(Choke on the dust and the chemicals)
Then line up to plead for the money they need
This is a city that breathes
(This is a city that breathes)
[Breakdown]
This is a city that takes everything
This is a city that takes everything
This is a city

[Outro]
There's a place I know
(This is a city that breathes)
Yeah it's filled with smoke
Where the despair meets the rope
(This is a city that breathes)
From the mountain high
(This is a city that breathes)
To the rust below
There's a place I know
(This is a city that breathes)
And I call it home
