The Only Time A City's Clean Lyrics

Ghostess The Only Time A City's Clean

Verse:
Has this city always looked this way?
The streets are washed of their decay
Traffic's lighter than it usually seems
Each car's trying to navigate the streams

Chorus:
Acid stains the concrete
Eating all the cracks for mothers broken backs in streams
Puddles line the side streets
When it rains it's the only time it seems
A city's clean

Verse:
I make my way down the side walk
To the cafe that's around the block
I'm met with umbrella's piling at the door
and the sound of rubber souls squeaking on the floor

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Verse:
Has this city always looked this way
The streets are washed of their decay
I sip on coffee and wait out the storm
Beyond the asphalt watch the rainbows form

(Chorus
