[Verse 1]
The cars and the trains were the blood in her veins
And the riders inside her breath and her life
But try as she may, the air drifted away
And the city could not be saved
[Verse 2]
For all of her flaws, injustice, and faults
Twas a sight to behold, her pulsing and waltz
As each selfish thing fought to make their own name
The tombstones of steel and glass were raised
A toast to her beauty in their day
[Pre-Chorus]
She could be a city
One like we've never seen
A happily ever after
And we are the kings and queens
[Chorus]
We can't outrun our memories
We can't unsee our dreams
The mother we need to remember if we
If we are
We are the kings and queens
The cars and the trains were the blood in her veins
And the riders inside her breath and her life
But try as she may, the air drifted away
And the city could not be saved
[Verse 2]
For all of her flaws, injustice, and faults
Twas a sight to behold, her pulsing and waltz
As each selfish thing fought to make their own name
The tombstones of steel and glass were raised
A toast to her beauty in their day
[Pre-Chorus]
She could be a city
One like we've never seen
A happily ever after
And we are the kings and queens
[Chorus]
We can't outrun our memories
We can't unsee our dreams
The mother we need to remember if we
If we are
We are the kings and queens
