Lyrics

Feels like I'm headed for a Gotham City breakdown
The water level's rising up above the whole town
I'm like a minnow in the world's biggest fishbowl
I think I'm headed for the darkest night of my soul
I turn and paddle more...can't even see the shore
I'm in a whirlpool of city and I'm losing my mind

Feels like I'm headed for a Gotham City breakdown
My head is spinning on this urban merry-go-round
The bumper cars are lining every avenue now
The carnival is just an overcrowded zoo now
And everybody's rude...I need some solitude
We gotta stop this roller coaster 'cause I'm losing my mind

We got to break from Gotham while there's still a way out of town
We got to break from Gotham City 'cause if we don't break this party up
Then any day now Gotham City's gonna break us down

Feels like I'm headed for a Gotham City breakdown
Somebody kicked me off the stairway to the high ground
Nobody listens to the song I want to sing here
Nobody gives a shit about a single thing here
I'm sliding down a hill...though I am standing still
The world is spinning all around me and I'm losing my mind
