Work Is Never Done - The Futureheads

The city’s getting bigger

But everybody slowly moves away

Your accent gets thicker

The blood is getting thinner every day

And the planes are getting higher

The oil is getting deep below our feet

The sun is on fire, at least that is the word out on the street

At least that is the word out on the street

The dust will never settle

We’re always on the run

The dust will never settle

Work is never done

The lights are burning brighter

Everybody has a number and a price

This tide is getting higher

We’re all drowning in a world of good advice

You believe in short of nothing

'Cause nothing cannot be taken away

The sun is on fire and this city will be gone within a day

This city will be gone within a day

The dust will never settle

We’re always on the run

The dust will never settle

Work is never done

The dust will never settle

We’re always on the run

The dust will never settle

Work is never done

Go from here

I’ll take you down, take you deeper out of town

If we ever make it out of here

I love this city but it’s burning to the ground

It’s burning to the ground

The dust will never settle

We’re always on the run

The dust will never settle

The dust will never settle

We’re always on the run

The dust will never settle

Work is never done

Work is never, work is never

Work, work is never done
