The city's getting bigger   But everybody slowly moves away   Your accent gets thicker   The blood is getting thinner every day      And the planes are getting higher   The oil is getting deep below our feet   The sun is on fire, at least that is the word out on the street   At least that is the word out on the street      The dust will never settle   We're always on the run   The dust will never settle   Work is never done      The lights are burning brighter   Everybody has a number and a price   This tide is getting higher   We're all drowning in a world of good advice      You believe in short of nothing   'Cause nothing cannot be taken away   The sun is on fire and this city will be gone within a day   This city will be gone within a day      The dust will never settle   We're always on the run   The dust will never settle   Work is never done      The dust will never settle   We're always on the run   The dust will never settle   Work is never done      Go from here   I'll take you down, take you deeper out of town   If we ever make it out of here   I love this city but it's burning to the ground   It's burning to the ground      The dust will never settle   We're always on the run   The dust will never settle      The dust will never settle   We're always on the run   The dust will never settle   Work is never done      Work is never, work is never   Work, work is never done
