Army Corps Of Architects Lyrics

Leaving the central state from shallow ground
Home in the valley but the rent's paid south
You said the urn was half full when I said it was half empty
With what was left of our fair city

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e40456-death_cab_for_cutie~army_corps_of_architects_lyrics.html ]
Call in the army corps of architects
To flatten the skyline and begin again
I knew the years would move quickly,
But never quite as fast as this
So bring the discrepancies, I'll pour the drinks.
