Verse 1

 There's a breakdown on the runway, And the timeless flights are gone

 I'm a year ahead of myself these days, And I'm locomotive strong

 My city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous state

 I can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fate

Chorus

 And I won't break and I won't bend

 But someday soon we'll sail away

 To innocence and the bitter end

 And I won't break and I won't bend

 And with the last breath we ever take

 We're gonna get back to the simple life again

Bridge

Verse 2

When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this place

Until we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eight

My city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rock

If we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stop
