๐ Lyrics
I'm going to be cheerful like Salman Rushdie
I'm gonna feel comfortable in my own body
I'm gonna be able to tell a story
'Til all the diamonds are extracted from the earth
Until the jeweler's loupe can tell me exactly what it's worth
I'm gonna have courage like Candice Bergen
Gonna listen for the ventriloquist until I've heard him
I set fire to the dollhouse, leave it burning
And all the policemen that tried to scare me straight
Those dummies can talk and talk and talk and talk, but they'll just have to wait
I got jumped in by some drunk kids
While we were dope sick, you got sexed in
You got your lip split, I got my ass kicked
On the Avenue of Time
Victory City
I wanna stand tall like Joey Strummer
I wanna live my whole life like it's the last day of summer
You looked down at your shoes and asked for my number
You said you'd call me if the moonlight ever hurt
Said if you came running after me, baby, well, it'd be in reverse
I got tempted to just give in
On a park bench felt the earth spin
I just didn't, I saw your footprints
On the Avenue of Time
I wanna look you in the eye
Even if we're going blind
Victory City
Victory City
Victory City
Victory City, ah
Victory City
Victory City
My Victory City
Victory City
My Victory City
Victory City
Victory City
Victory City
I'm gonna feel comfortable in my own body
I'm gonna be able to tell a story
'Til all the diamonds are extracted from the earth
Until the jeweler's loupe can tell me exactly what it's worth
I'm gonna have courage like Candice Bergen
Gonna listen for the ventriloquist until I've heard him
I set fire to the dollhouse, leave it burning
And all the policemen that tried to scare me straight
Those dummies can talk and talk and talk and talk, but they'll just have to wait
I got jumped in by some drunk kids
While we were dope sick, you got sexed in
You got your lip split, I got my ass kicked
On the Avenue of Time
Victory City
I wanna stand tall like Joey Strummer
I wanna live my whole life like it's the last day of summer
You looked down at your shoes and asked for my number
You said you'd call me if the moonlight ever hurt
Said if you came running after me, baby, well, it'd be in reverse
I got tempted to just give in
On a park bench felt the earth spin
I just didn't, I saw your footprints
On the Avenue of Time
I wanna look you in the eye
Even if we're going blind
Victory City
Victory City
Victory City
Victory City, ah
Victory City
Victory City
My Victory City
Victory City
My Victory City
Victory City
Victory City
