[Verse 1]
No taxi could take you
No trains rolling by
No bicycle shop, no planes in the sky
Planes in the sky

[Verse 2]
Not a night spent in jail
Parrot on my arm
Not a man of the world, no patch on my eye
Patch on my eye

[Chorus]
Dark and metric is my town
Every day and night
Just because you're floating
Doesn't mean you haven't drowned

[Verse 3]
No spoiler, no wind scoop
No mag wheels in back
No hydraulic shocks, no privacy glass
Privacy glass

[Chorus]
Dark and metric is my town
North, east, west, and south
Just because you're smiling
Doesn't mean you haven't drowned
