[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
