[verse 1: orpheus]
i’m not a gambling man
i don’t know how to play this hand
i was dealt by force
thought i could speak easy
but you just bent my words right back on me
then i broke the law

[chorus: orpheus]
now here beneath the rust
the skytrain rattles round
overhead
the raindrops fall through dust
and shatter on the ground
black and dead
i never should have placed my trust in the city
the vulture town that picked me clean

[interlude: jonny d’ville]
“and then, as if answering the call, the vault is filled with music.”

[verse 2: orpheus]
i’m not a lawless man
i always trusted in your plan
i was dumb like that
i chose the straightest path
but all the landmarks moved as i walked past
now i can’t look back

[chorus: orpheus]
now here beneath the rust
the skytrain rattles round
overhead
the raindrops fall through dust
and shatter on the ground
black and dead
i never should have placed my trust in the city
the python town that trashed my bones

[verse 3: orpheus]
i’m not a fighting man
i never act on wrath’s command
but i know you do
i’d rather run than stand
you’d rather force my hand than understand
that i’m not like you

[chorus: orpheus]
now here beneath the rust
the skytrain rattles round
overhead
the raindrops fall through dust
and shatter on the ground
black and dead
i never should have placed my trust in the city
the viper town that bleed me dry
