Tiny Cities Made of Ashes Lyrics

[Chorus]
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

One take on Tiny Cities is that the character whose point of view the song is from is discussing contemplating death, or possibly suicide. The “tiny city made of ashes” would be a cemetery–or more likely a columbarium–in this case.

Another interpretation involves parallels between the lyrics and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
