The city in defeat,
|
With no one left to beat,
|
There's still a fading desire,
|
To burn a naked light,
|
Just to defy the night,
|
Come on and call me a liar.
|
|
A crumble tumble down,
|
In fumble bumble town,
|
Our lives a ruin,
|
We reconstruct a bit,
|
And pretty up a bit,
|
We hardly know what we're doing.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
But me and my baby,
|
Make the best of this world,
|
She's like a diamond,
|
Innocent girl.
|
We watch the sign of the times,
|
Writing on the wall-Cities may fall.
|
|
Back through the city fog,
|
I was another cog,
|
For the machinery there,
|
Now the machines have gone,
|
The silence hanging on,
|
I sit, I stare.
|
|
CHORUS Repeated
|
|
Come on and take your aim,
|
I feel the mildest pain,
|
Protecting something so rare,
|
'Cos there's a gem or two.
|
Inside the human zoo,
|
If only you are aware.
|
|
CHORUS Repeated.
