Lyrics

Well, I pounded on the gates of a "Don't Walk" sign
It just blinked at me and said "You better wait in line!"
I looked around me, saw the threat was empty
And decided that I just didn't have the time

'Cause I need to go on a Concrete Trip tonight
Yeah just bask in the glare of the brightest street light
Just step on the cracks. They won't break any backs
Just walk around on some hollowed out ground

'Cause I'm going out on a Concrete Trip tonight, yeah
I'm gonna' shimmer with the shiny shards of glass tonight, yeah
You can read between the lines of the neon signs tonight, yeah
'Cause I'm going out on a Concrete Trip tonight, yeah

Well I know the difference between Heaven and Hell
It just depends on whether or not you can stand the smell
Those shards of glass, yeah those shards of glass
They're all just the memories of drunken nights past

Vertical seas! Symmetrical trees!
Those proud glowing spires make me weak in the knees
I turn a right angle to a grated floor
A gust of darkness and a booming roar

I'm overwhelmed! I'm taken off guard
I float to the sidewalk like a playing card
Yet somehow when I reach the pavement, I still hit it pretty damn hard

About an hour or so after the bars all close
The city goes off it gets a life of its own
It gets the wheel of fate a spinning all a sideways and
It crawls on thirteen legs to some great unknown

But those shards of glass, yeah those shards of glass
They hang in there. They keep a clinging to its ass
They'll bring it back down to the world we know just in time to see the dawn
And I pick myself up and shrug off the pain
The same way my cigarette keeps on burning in the rain
I hear a heavy sigh come from the hole in the sky
I don't even stop to ask myself why
'Cause I'm going out on a Concrete Trip tonight, yeah!
