Witch City

from The Late Bloomer by Crushdepth

lyrics

Put fences in my way, I'll jump 'em
The city is my playground, if they want to chase me, let 'em
I'm more concerned about what the spirits think
As I loiter among their headstones to drink

Raising hell in Witch City, USA
Name a better more productive way to spend an autumn Friday
I begin my weekend with a light trespass
Feel more inspired here than I ever have in class

Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight

To us it's more than just another tourist town
Chill out, officer, we're not gonna burn it down
You must respect such a perfect getaway
Ten years from now, we'll remember today

Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight

I duck into the fortune teller's shop
Ask to see my card, expect the worst
But the moon smiles up from the tabletop
When I had expected the tower reversed

Running wild on the streets of Witch City
Doing wrong, so they say, I feel alright
If I could slow down, look around, take it in
The scene would be pretty
But I can't, or at least I won't, not tonight
Not tonight
