The City
I came form the desert Where for miles you could see Where the weight of the space Blurred your waking and dreaming And if a stranger appeared at a distance it seemed I was helpless as someone was walking Right through me Why'd I get on that train? Where came my money? It came in a letter that was perfumed and sweet The smell of which rekindled All my long lost feelings Next time I'm locking out a feeling I'll be ditching that mother fucking key For keeps
Well I went where the people They walk like statues I got climbing up a stairwell in the gloom Number 14 stank of flowers and cruelty And the air was so hued It was like through an ocean I was steering And sure enough she steered me Where she wanted me to And if you'd seen her my friend I recon you'd agree too She does for lovin' what a war does for truth Here come the lies By land and by sea Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Raining down metal Chambers awaking from sleep
We went deep into winter Sleep rolled me like waves While she kept a vigil On her house like a maze I should have beat her or killed her Or just ran away But she held me together Just long enough To keep me deranged
Well I've been living in a shelter That is far from pretty You gotta wonder why I stayed here in the city Where the clouds full of concrete And you're dead on your feet It all comes down to a simple convenience You come as you go Stay as you leave I came from the desert where for miles you can see To this 8 by 10 room A tab of morphine Getting lost in yourself is that much easier Where the scrapers point skywards Like guns pointed out to sea
