Lyrics Work Is Never Done (Live) - 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
