  • The moon is hanging low, over the central station
    I watch the buses leave in silence, bound for foreign distant places
    The Andes hold me close
    A mothers only son
    I feel weightless in the valley, like I'm everywhere at once

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities

    We came here abandoned
    An old brick faced apartment
    Rusted swing set in the courtyard, like the one that I was born in
    And I'm guarded like I'm wounded, my first instinct's always "run"

    I wanna turn to steam
    I wanna call it off
    I wanna lighten the dark
    I wanna swallow the sun

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home

    I was just mange and skin and bone
    You took me into your home
    Kept warm on a blanket from your worn out winter coat

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities

    I'm laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We're sister cities
