[Verse 1]
Hailing a cab, dark DC night
And you know, and you know we're walking
Battery weak, shining bright under street-side priests
In glowing skin under flashing lights
Moving slow, moving slowly uptown
We came to win this game
We'll never win this way
There's nothing worse than feeling spare
When you're go, when we going nowhere, nowhere
'Cause what's worse than being spare?
Are we going nowhere, nowhere?
[Chorus]
The noise is louder than it's ever been
Concrete washes down like medicine
Could be a little worse for wear
If God put it there
Oh, no, we're coming up spare
[Verse 2]
We made a map of city stars
When the hell did we get to this part?
We play to win this game
We'll never win this way
There's nothing worse than feeling spare
When you're go, when you're going nowhere, nowhere
'Cause what's worse than being spare
Are we going nowhere?
[Chorus]
The noise is louder than it's ever been
Concrete washes down like medicine
Could be a little worse for wear
If God put it there, oh, no, we're coming up spare
[Bridge]
It tasted sour but I let it in
Concrete washes down like medicine
Could be a little worse for wear
If God put it there, oh, no, we're coming up spare
[Chorus]
The noise is louder than it's ever been
Concrete washes down like medicine
Could be a little worse for wear
If God put it there
Oh, no, we're coming up spare
