lyrics

NEVER WORK

Walking down the city streets
my favorite sneakers on my feet
Shine so bright they hurt my eyes
There is magic in the sky

Behind the windows
And in the shadows

I like the picture in my hotel room
It is bolted to the wall
I like the lights
Outside my window
I like the long walk down the hall

Never work
Get around get around the hardest part
Never work
Get around the hard part

Elevator
in that building
Full of people
thinking bout killing
Time or each other
So look out brother

They never touch they rarely speak
They stare at the brown shoes on their feet

There is a room inside my room
There is fruit on every tree
There is a devil
Outside my window
He's got a fat paycheck for me
