Lyrics
[verse]
Up on the tower where the billboards spin and glow
Selling little pieces of a happiness for show
The city hums a jingle it can't stop repeating
While the ground below keeps quietly receding
[chorus]
Windows down, city's a machine
Chasing something shiny, chasing something clean
Feel good factory running day and night
Stamping out a smile under neon light
[verse]
Man on the corner sells a sunrise in a can
Every screen is whispering the same old plan
I'm floating somewhere between the static and the noise
Just another gear inside the feel good toys
[chorus]
Windows down, city's a machine
Chasing something shiny, chasing something clean
Feel good factory running day and night
Stamping out a smile under neon light
[bridge]
Turn it off, turn it off, let the quiet in
Somewhere past the traffic there's a place to begin
No slogans, no static, just the wind and the ground
Feels good different when you finally slow down
[chorus]
Windows down, city's a machine
Chasing something shiny, chasing something clean
Feel good factory running day and night
Stamping out a smile under neon light
