"City Hall" lyrics - THE FRAY

THE FRAY
"City Hall"

[Intro:]
The city hall in my mind met last night
Rumors of reelection started to fly

It's my funeral today, my funeral today
I laid it down, underneath the sound
It's my principal concern
My principal concern is what you say
But I wanted it this way

[Pre-Chorus:]
Because I'm throwing down without a fight

[Chorus:]
You're more than welcome to look around
Consult your checklist, go underground
I'll grab a stake here inside the frame [?]
But I'm going under another name

I won't return after today
So I'm at liberty to say what's on my mind
Anytime I like
You can't watch me anymore
You can't make me like before when I was yours
When all I wanted was the door

[Pre-Chorus:]
So I'm throwing down without a fight

[Chorus:]
You're more than welcome to look around
Consult your checklist go underground
I'll grab a stake here inside the frame [?]
But I'm going under another name

[Outro:]
Decision on the docket
Make up my mind
And if you get consensus
Drop me a line
The city hall in my mind got together last night
Rumors of reelection started to fly
