Tin Laurels

When you got to the city
 You had two hundred dollars
 A photo of your father
 You thought that that was all you'd need
 (Party all night wont stop until the dawn)
 (Party all night, drink until we're gone)
 Once you got settled in your corner
 Out your dirty window
 Was a four-story monster
 Wearing the outline of a crown
 Graffito coronation
 (Party all night wont stop until the dawn)
 (Party all night, drink until we're gone)
 He was up on every billboard
 You heard him on the air
 Every meal from tin cans
 You listen to your neighbors pray
 "He takes all the desperation away"
 Don't give up on this city
 I'm no different from you
 And I need you (Has anyone ever been in love like this?)
 I need you (Has anyone, anywhere, ever been in love like this?)
 And I need you (Has anyone been in love like this?)
 Has anyone, anywhere?
 Paper idols in their tin laurels
 We will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 Paper idols in their tin laurels
 We will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will
 Take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
 And we will take them as they come
