Hey, baby, where you going tonight
You look a little blue around the edges
Like you been walking out on ledges
And you're wearing the weight of the world
Just like a crown

Hey, baby, what's wrong--is everything all right
The sun comes up on high street
And only sets on low street
Here we are on no street, trying to keep our feet
And there ain't no way, no way out

I won't let you down
When they're counting you out
When your ship is going down
I'll be your solid ground
I won't let you down

The city's on fire--it's burning all around you
They took you for a ride
And they promised you another side
Now here we are
The king and queen of the beggar's ball

Now I'm standing tall--I'll make you an offer
It's a shitty situation but I figured out how
There's two tickets at the station--one way out
If we get across to Jersey, we can keep going south
Come with me--now

I won't let you down
When they're counting you out
When your ship's going down
I'll be your solid ground
I won't let you down, I won't let you down
I won't let you down, I won't let you down

We can stay here--let our souls just turn to ice
Yeah, it might not work out, but you gotta roll the dice
If you need a reason why, take a good look at me now

I won't let you down
When they're counting you out
When your ship is going down
I'll be your solid ground
I won't let you down

I won't let you down
When they're counting you out
When your ship is going down
I'll be your solid ground
I won't let you down

I won't let you down, I won't let you down
When the walls come crumbling down
I'll keep you safe and sound
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
