This lazy metropolis that I call home
It's birth and death all rolled into one
I know and emphasize it
On and on I drone

It's never empty and always needy

A-l-o-s-t-a, I can never get away
Thrown back on Alosta, want it any other way?

I'm like an empty canvas, invisible
Soft underbelly fried in the sun
Who knows where I might end up?
Is this what comfort's for?

It's always been said, but I've never seen it

A-l-o-s-t-a, I can never get away
Thrown back on Alosta, want it any other way?

Born into natural coldness that is my home
Past, in the future? I never know
Who knows what I have made up?
It's the thought that lingers on

It's so elusive but still I need it
