Lyrics

Venom from the dealer pulls you underground
fortune bleeds out lucky streaks can snap
all plans have their flaws sewn into the map to the city of dreams
You sleep in the car with your getaway schemes
trusted saints patrolling the walls
deep in the chambers outside the vaults
searched for a sound echoes concrete
might lead for a way out beneath the city of dreams
El camino escondido en la ciudad del sueño
perdido en sus calles, lo busco en mis recuerdos
He looked in her eyes one last time then crossed his heart
memories of a tunnel lined with gold
but no one believes in the cards they hold
coroner’s crying to an empty crowd
the devil’s laughing to himself out loud
beneath the city of dreams
El camino escondido en la ciudad del sueño
perdido en sus calles, lo busco en mis recuerdos
