City with No Children

Lyrics

The summer that I broke my arm
 I waited for your letter
 I have no feeling for you now
 Now that I know you better
 I wish that I could have loved you then
 Before our age was through
 And before a world war does with us whatever it will do
 ♪
 Dreamed I drove home to Houston
 On a highway that was underground
 There was no light that we could see
 As we listened to the sound of the engine failing
 ♪
 I feel like I've been living in
 A city with no children in it
 A garden left for ruin by a billionaire inside of a private prison
 ♪
 You never trust a millionaire quoting the sermon on the mount
 I used to think I was not like them but I'm beginning to have my doubts
 My doubts about it
 When you're hiding underground
 The rain can't get you wet
 But do you think your righteousness could pay the interest on your debt?
 I have my doubts about it
 I feel like I've been living in
 A city with no children in it
 A garden left for ruin by a billionaire inside of a private prison
 I feel like I've been living in
 A city with no children in it
 A garden left for ruin by and by as I hide inside of my private prison
