Refugees

Richard McNamara, Danny McNamara

[Verse 1]
The snow on the screen
We're going light speed tonight
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Except we don't die tonight

And the blister packs, coats
And crumpled up notes appear
It's a break from the swill
The piss they distill around here

It's a break from the swill
The piss they distill around here

[Chorus 1]
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town comes down
I wish, I wish

My first degree
Emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry
I wish, I wish

[Verse 2]
The cash machine queens
When ambulance teams arrive
In their skeletal jeans
They take refugees for wives

When their collars get felt
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
We'll run up the strand
Your wrist in my hand, we know we're born

Yeah I know I'm born
Yeah I know I'm born

[Chorus 1]
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town comes down
I wish, I wish

My first degree
Emergency
Is kettled by your cavalry
I wish, I wish

[Bridge]
When all of your friends are my enemies
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
And my only defence is the worst of me
Out in the open for all to survey

When you settle for less than I promised you
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
It's cause some things are just harder to say

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 2]
Lift off of this
Metropolis
When this town comes down
I wish, I wish
