[Verse 1]
The moon is hanging low, over the central station
I watch the buses leave in silence
Bound for foreign, distant places
The Andes hold me close
A mother's only son
I feel weightless in the valley
Like I'm everywhere at once

[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities

[Verse 2]
We came here, abandoned
An old brick-faced apartment
Rusted swing set in the courtyard
Like the one that I was born in
I'm guarded like I'm wounded
My first instinct's always “run”
I wanna turn to steam
I wanna call it off
I wanna lighten the dark
I wanna swallow the sun
[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home...

[Bridge]
I was just mange, and skin, and bone
You took me into your home
Kept warm on a blanket from your
Worn out winter coat

[Chorus]
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities

I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities
I'm laying low
A stray dog in the street
You took me home
We’re sister cities

We’re sister cities
