[Verse 1]

Well I thought about it once or twice

No I guess it was more like all the time

A couple oceans, a couple miles

Wandering down brick roads and hill sides

While them guns were going off

When your love is not enough

While the pages write themselves

A couple of stories I'll never tell

[Chorus]

So welcome to your brand new life

Welcome to the city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes

What's it feel like?

When your pulse runs dry

When your mouth grows quiet

Paint your lips up bright

You got a little wicked in your eye

[Verse 2]

Back when you were on your own

In that tiny place outside Chicago

You told me when you were feeling low

You would wander down hillsides and brick roads

While them guns were going off

When my love is not enough

While the pages write themselves

A couple of stories I'll never tell

[Chorus]

So welcome to your brand new life

Welcome to the city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes

What's it feel like?

When your pulse runs dry

When your mouth grows quiet

Paint your lips up bright

You got a little wicked in your eye

[Verse 3]

Boats, they're living peacefully

The riverman nods his cap at me

Fucked up, smiling ear to ear

Blood on your feet, holding your heels

Here in black and white

Yelling something about tonight

Everything is short lived

If only you could taste it

[Chorus]

So welcome to your brand new life

Welcome to the city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes

Tell me what it feels like

When your pulse runs dry

When your mouth grows quiet

Paint your lips up bright

You got a little wicked in your eye
