First steppeed out of the aeroplane
Felt like I'd been here before
Took a [...] down, put a smile on my face
Felt like I could do more

How ace are buildings?
How big are the blocks?
Reminds me of London
Stuck in a graveyard

Six foot deep, bleaker street, no-one in town

Stuck in a gridlock

Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa
Naa, naa, na na na naaaa
Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa
Naa, naa, na, naow
