I heard the Cityscape Skins are kinda kicking it again 
 Heard they finally got some discipline 
 Running up the score and stocking up like it's World War IV 
 I heard that some are getting sprung and some are back in 
 You know it's always back and forth 
 And most of them are dead 
 And some don't even live here anymore 
    So when I brought you back here for Christmas 
 I didn't think we would see them 
 I guess I should've explained   
 There was a side of this city I didn't want you to see 
 There's just these guys that I know, we go back pretty deep 
 And I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you 
 There were times that it terrified me 
 I know what they said, I don't know if it's true 
 I hope this whole thing didn't frighten you   
 They're building a bunker down by the river 
 And someone said that that's where they've been getting together 
 They got masks for the gas, they're sleeping in their bulletproof vests 
 I guess Shepard came out of St. Cloud with a little ideology 
 Some new way of thinking, man 
 A view to the future 
 Jesus, this might be a mess   
 For me, it was mostly the music 
 I couldn't go to the shows with 
 I guess I should've explained   
 They never care if it's true 
 As long as they got something to prove 
 And they always got something to prove   
 And the room full of dudes 
 And they cranked up the tunes 
 And I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you   
 There was a side of this city I didn't want you to see 
 There's just these guys that I know, we go back pretty deep 
 I saw you look at his shoes, I saw you look at their teeth 
 I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you 
 So you tapped me on the arm like you wanted to cruise 
 I could tell this whole thing kind of frightened you
