Them Crooked Vultures

STAY WITH YOU (unfinished)

Vesuvius 2025 cop.       Lyrics

Please mind the gap between the train and the platform…”
—click, hum, silence—
Yeah, there’s a gap alright.

[Verse 1]
Neon rain on plastic dreams,
A billboard smile where the sirens scream,
Someone sleeps beneath the crown,
While the city keeps him down.

[Verse 2]
Golden towers scrape the grey,
Their windows never face this way,
I see your coat, it’s paper-thin,
Winter’s teeth are closing in.

[Chorus – darker tone]
Mind the gap — it’s swallowing whole,
The money, the mercy, the pieces of soul,
You can pray to the gods of the trap,
They’ll answer back — mind the gap.

[Verse 3]
Coffee cups and credit cards,
Buy your peace in bodyguards,
Every law they twist for fun,
Is a loaded gun for someone.

[Bridge – whispered, half-sung]
Static in the speaker’s breath,
Talking down the steps of death,
Somewhere under London clay,
A voice repeats the same cliché…

Mind that fucking gap.       Lyrics
