Cold and barren like a wasteland
Beside myself like I’m adjacent
But the view from here is beautiful
I’m so taken cause it’s beautiful

Too cloudy for a starry night
Only neon to reflect the light
But the view from here is beautiful
I’m so taken cause it’s beautiful

Woke up in the morning to another cloudy day in the chi town ey
According to the news I was just driving through another war zone ey
Gold coast blues
Tears and the fears got em thinkin bout moving
Give up the keys for the chains and the whip all the things worth losing

Cold and barren like a wasteland
Beside myself like I’m adjacent
But the view from here is beautiful
I’m so taken cause it’s beautiful

Too cloudy for a starry night
Only neon to reflect the light
But the view from here is beautiful
I’m so taken cause it’s beautiful

The system clearly failed when it’s politicized
Nostalgic for the type of crime unorganized
I could leave but
It’s my home cause
