[Verse 1]
Glass boots crunching through the gutter sand
Painted boys flipping silver bands
Rubber souls tangle with the wire rain
Drag queens laughing as the taxis drain

[Pre-Chorus]
Velvet secrets on the wires
Broken halos out for hire

[Chorus]
We're running out past the riot gate
Silver faces lit by neon fate
Steeling glances in the market line
Dreams get broken, boys re-align

[Post-Chorus]
Hounds on the city block
Hounds on the city block

[Verse 2]
Sidesteps quick in the shadow maze
Mirrored men with sideways gaze
Streetlights flicker, selling stolen names
Truth’s a gamble in the hunger game

[Pre-Chorus]
Every corner’s got its eyes
Selling memories, trading lies

[Chorus]
We're running out past the riot gate
Silver faces lit by neon fate
Steeling glances in the market line
Dreams get broken, boys re-align

[Post-Chorus]
Hounds on the city block
Hounds on the city block

[Post-Chorus]
Hounds on the city block
Hounds on the city block
