[Verse 1]
I see the city from my roof
Scrape the sky and pierce the moon
I toss a brick and hit a bottle
I used to have such a fiery soul
Now it's full of cigarette holes
But scars tell better stories

[Chorus]
You just cup her under water
Your hope is just a dream
'Til you mix truth and purity
What a hell of a hangover
You won't find me underground
Oh, on the rooftops I'll be found

[solo 1]

[Verse 2]
Well I'll spit on your fuse
Twist you out under my shoe
You go ahead and knock it down, child
It's nothin' new
I'll just watch the buildings burn
So wake me up when you feed the earth
You say I sold my values
Yeah, but you paid for the view
[Chorus]
It's just copper under water
Your hope is just a dream
'Til you mix truth and purity
What a hell of a hangover
You won't find me underground
Oh, on the rooftops I'll be found

[solo 2]

[Verse 3]
I see the city from my roof
Like a foreign land from a family room
Oh, how I once detested
Its abuse now
The lights all look like stars
And there's solace from afar
I toss the smoke and watch it tumble
Into the whisper of passing cars

[Outro]
Well, on the rooftops I'll be found
Well, on the rooftops I'll be found
Well, on the rooftops I'll be found
Well, on the rooftops lookin' down
