text: Theres a breakdown on the runway
  And the timeless flights are gone
  Im a year ahead of myself these days
  And Im locomotive strong
  My city spread like cannon fire
  In a yellow nervous state
  I cant cut the ties that bind me
  To horoscopes and fate
  And I wont break and I wont bend
  But someday soon well sail away
  To innocence and the bitter end
  And I wont break and I wont bend
  And with the last breath we ever take
  Were going to get back to the simple life again
  When we break out of this blindfold
  Im gonna take you from this place
  Until were free from this ball and chain
  Im still hard behind the eight
  My city beats like hammered steel
  On a shallow cruel rock
  If we could walk proud after midnight
  Wed never have to stop
  And I wont break and I wont bend
  But someday soon well sail away
  To innocence and the bitter end
  And I wont break and I wont bend
  And with the last breath we ever take
  Were going to get back to the simple life again
