Lyrics
The council letter's on the laminate, Tuesday, quarter-past-three.
Your pen-top clicks a rhythm that agrees with everything.
The rain puts wee grey fingerprints all over the high-rise glass,

[Bridge]

Didn't know the cables had been rusting all the time.
[Outro]
A city breathing in.
A city breathing out the rain.
