lyrics
'In the City'
Driving through the dusty heat
And recesses of my mind
It’s black magic lay your tricks upon me now
Apathy can riddle time – once more
Goodbye to all that was wrong now you know
I know that you know that I’m not for show
In the city, sunset’s on crushed glass so pretty yeah
In the litter, diamonds seem to sparkle sweetly yeah
In the city it’s so pretty in my city yeah oh yeah
What’s fundamental daily grind is so familiar
I couldn’t tell you if I tried
But the city bleeds your soul and tries to kill ya
When did our satellites collide
Goodbye to all that was wrong now you know
I know that you know that I’m not for show
In the city, sunset’s on crushed glass so pretty yeah
In the litter, diamonds seem to sparkle sweetly yeah
In the city it’s so pretty in my city yeah oh yeah
