Lyrics[]

He says Florida's slowing sinking
sinking into the ocean
He says the housing tracts are built on half facts
and the rest half fiction
and I can't argue that statistics
are becoming the definition
of just standing still between glass and steel
drowning in this quicksand

And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late
And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late

Between the garbage and the concrete
to the construction grounds under our feet
a boomtown gone bust, a goldmine in dust
disintegrating
where latch key kids from divorces
transplants and the foreign tourists
fill up vacation spots turned to trailer parks
cause this state is fading

And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late
And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late

And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late
And the city's skyline hasn't looked the same
since the boom in South Florida's real estate
it's turning into more than I can take
too much, too soon, too little, too late
too little, too late
