Burn off the morning smog with heat that’s blazing from my rush I’m paying dearly for this flash of light I have become I can’t just hold my breath and stop a pulse I’m not controlling So I hit the pavement as the hustle breaks into a run We’re in the hustle now and there’s violence in its techno heart Bleeding our brothers, lovers, others into faded scars Good luck believin’ now the gears are turning down beneath us She’ll use my blurry dawn to mine the gold underneath us I heard a rumor that time It’s really just a lion that barks in your mind For no reason Dealin’ the hustle now, it’s jivey talk is so confusing Can’t turn the music down to silence out the rest of you No time for real it’s goin’ to carve you up like bayonettes Into a rollin’ dawn of modernist art loneliness This motion in the street This watchin’ my anger There’s hell enough to pay For smilin’ I’m a leave the hustle one day when I can’t do it no more good Slip the brown bag from my bottle and fill it with my master’s gold SongtexteCome clean with luck and God inside some Port Authority urinal Claim me a country hill and a woman with which to grow old .City of Dreams City of dreams More wicked than it seems You lead me down the alley Where no one can hear my screams You ride on the bus Bumping into us You’re reaching in our pockets And you’re bleeding in our cuts City of dreams You don’t know what it means To only dream about it I know Tonight I’m on the street with no money in my coat And I’m blamin’ everybody for this ticket I got wrote And I’ll walk along the end ‘Till I wander home again Out beneath the rumble I go stumblin’ down the Northside wind City of dreams You don’t know what it means To only dream about it I know Aus Songtexte Mania
