(I wouldn’t say I love this one, but I still really like it. I have never been pleased with the “chorus,” but also haven’t been able to figure out how to make it better. Anyway, here’s my take on growing up in Houston, TX.)
In Astrocity I never went without.
I was never wanting and always filled my mouth
with drinks and drugs and sex and loves
and truth and lies and long goodbyes.
In Astrocity I never went without.
In Astrocity I always disappeared.
I was always fading and always fed my fears
with truth and lies and fake goodbyes
and drugs and sex and things complex.
In Astrocity I always disappeared.
For those were the days when temptation was so pretty.
And that is why I can never return to Astrocity.
In Astrocity I always turned away.
I was always yearning and always filled my days
with drinks and sex and lies complex.
and girls and lies and fake goodbyes.
In Astrocity I always turned away.
In Astrocity I never went with you.
I was never longing and I always filled my youth
with love and lust and great distrust
and sex and sin and make pretend.
In Astrocity I never went with you.
For those were the days when temptation was so pretty.
And that is why I can never return to Astrocity.
