Crayon Ruins

[Hook] We flew into the rainbow of the city's crayon ruins The colours splashed below us, glowing in the dark And losing meaning by the day I'm losing my head, but still giving my heart to you And oh, how beautiful it seemed from a distance With the moonlight glistening in awe Of the silence, and the stillness And the grace of it all [Verse 1] He said, "The sky's falling" Took my hand in his, started running for the hills Well not the literal hills In little heels I was taking little spills along the sidewalk People stumbling out of dive bars I said, "What are you running for, I was having a good time Weren't you having a good time baby? Won't you slow down and talk to me?" But he said, "We can't slow down now, we just gotta go, babe" We ran like we were floating on the waves of the concrete Up East Houston, past the Bureau and the Mercury I remember thinking, I'm glad I ordered no dessert for me Passed the gas station, reached the steps of the F Train Met change at the top of the stairs, I'm definitely Confused-face emoticon Then sighted a motorcade We weren't even focussed on, slow fade into the sirens Climbing, creeping down Broadway Firemen lying on the corner of LaFayette Fire hazard signs, we were peeping all the doorways The environment of violence that appeared on the set Like we were touring at the Paramount lot Situation paramount, we turned and ran down the block And the air raids rang out People started running, and people started screaming And the guns started banging from the rooftops Bleeding civillians started to fall The millions in New York didn't stop to help at all And we ran, and we ducked, and weaved behind trucks As the storefronts in SoHo started to blow their windows Rejected impulses, we failed to save anyone And a stray car just missed us on the way to hit a building We were running past some neighbors passing them their children And oh, the city's getting gassed from below It's pouring down manholes, blowing, and Wrapping shirts around my face and screaming I said at sunrise, meet me back in Dumbo Looked in his eyes, kissed his lips with our guns low Tightened my sleeves around my neck and started bookin' Towards the bridge, headed to the planet of Brooklyn [Hook]
