THIS IS THE CITY OF THE DEAD
|
AS WE LIE SIDE BY SIDE IN BED
|
I'D DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD
|
BUT IT IS THE CITY OF THE DEAD
|
|
WE WENT OUT KICKIN' AROUND
|
BUT YOU GOT DRUNK AN' FALLEN DOWN
|
AN' I WISHED I COULD BE LIKE YOU
|
WITH THE SOHO RIVER DRINKING ME DOWN
|
|
IN THE CITY OF THE DEAD
|
FALL IN LOVE AN' FALL IN BED
|
IT WASN'T ANYTHING YOU SAID
|
EXCEPT I KNOW WE BOTH LIE DEAD
|
|
DON'T YOU KNOW WHERE TO COP
|
THAT'S WHAT NEW YORK JOHNNY SAID * * * *
|
YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW YOUR TOWN
|
JUST LIKE I KNOW MINE
|
|
WHILE ALL THE WINDOWS STARE AHEAD
|
AN' THE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH DREAD
|
EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD
|
SLINKS THROUGH THE ALLEY AFTER GIRLS
|
|
WHAT WE WEAR IS DANGEROUS GEAR
|
IT'LL GET YOU PICKED ON ANYWHERE
|
THOUGH WE GET BEAT UP WE DON'T CARE
|
AT LEAST IT LIVENS UP THE AIR
|
|
BUT SOMEDAYS WE HIDE INSIDE
|
ALL COURAGE GONE AND PARALYSED
|
SNIFF THAT WIND OF UGLY TENSION
|
TODAY THE JERKS HAVE GOT AGGRESSION
|
|
IT IS THE CITY OF THE DEAD
|
