Helicopter Lullaby - Double Dagger

This city is a bypass

Don’t let us get in your way

From a distance it’s tight-knit

Up close, it’s hard to say

These sidewalks became my feet

A tight fit with a battered beat

The forgotten past to our present

Just paves the way for decadence

In this city the 'copters sing

They sing to us all night

In this city we fall asleep

To helicopter lullabies

In the home of the fall of pressure

Surviving is how things are measured

You worry about the finer things in life

We try to keep a solid hold on liquid life

From a distance it’s romance

Up close, it’s hard to say

Watched over by a parade of blue lights

Walking alone on too-silent nights

In this city the 'copters sing

They sing to us all night

In this city we fall asleep

To helicopter lullabies

In this city the 'copters sing

They sing to us all night

In this city we fall asleep

To helicopter lullabies

They’re circling now

They’re circling now

I can’t fall asleep

Until they pass my house

Cold comfort in that sound

As they pass my house

I can’t fall asleep

Unless they pass my house

They’re circling now
