City Song
City streets I see your lies, I will not play your gameNo longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insaneBut I've forgot my number, now I'm remembering my nameI've been too long traveling on your trainYou tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the painYou tried to hypnotize me, but I see'd right through your gameAnd now your tatty tricks to me are really rather tameI've been too long traveling on your trainCity lights don't shine, they glareAnd your music doesn't speak, it swearsAnd in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're thereSome day soon I know I'm going miles and miles awayBack to the garden where the magic children playAnd to the country lady who knows more than I can sayWhose night shines brighter than your dayCity lights don't shine, they glareAnd your music doesn't speak, it swearsAnd in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're there Aus Songtexte Mania
