No Floods

I never ever thought I'd live away
from everyone I love and say goodbye
now I'm the princess of a downtown train
where everybody here, they know my game
but when I walk down the street I hear them say
"there she goes, that crazy girl
she thinks she's something in this world"
So I'mma close my ears and dream
'cause life is never really what it seems
in every mystery, there's a truth
you know I'm tellin', I'm tellin' you-
no matter lightning or thunder,
buckets of rainwater
you can't flood this town
in a world unknown
you've gotta hold your own
you can't stop me-
you're never ever gonna stop me now
On every street there is a memory,
a time and place where we can never be again
street lights glow red, green, and yellow too
do you let signs tell you what to do?
Yeah, when you say stop,
be sure that I'll say go
to the stars in the land
fire can't burn these hands
but I just close my eyes and dream
you cant deny me my astronomy
in every mystery, there's a truth
you know I'm tellin', I'm tellin' you-
no matter lightning or thunder,
buckets of rainwater
you can't flood this town
in a world unknown
you've gotta hold your own
and you can't stop me-
you're never ever ever gonna stop me now
go ahead and don't believe
'cause everyone needs a way to breathe
and love and dream and you can't stop me
no you can't stop me
no matter lightning or thunder,
buckets of rainwater
you can't flood this town
in a world unknown
you've gotta hold your own
and you can't stop me-
you're never ever ever gonna stop me-
no matter lightning or thunder,
buckets of rainwater
you can't flood this town
in a world unknown
