The City Has Sex (Companion Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The city has sex with itself, I suppose As the concrete collides, the scenery grows The lonely, once bandaged, lay fully exposed Havin' undressed their wounds for each other [Verse 2] And there's a boy in a basement with a four-track machine He's been strummin' and screamin' all night down there The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings They say it's better to bury your sadness In a graveyard or garden that waits for thе spring To awake from its sleep and burst into green [Chorus] And I've cried And you'd think I'd bе better for it But the sadness just sleeps, it stays in your spine For the rest of your life And I've learned And you'd think I'd be somethin' more now But it just goes to show, it's not what you know It is what you were thinkin' at the time [Verse 3] This feeling's familiar, I've been here before In a kitchen this quiet I waited for A sign or just something that might reassure me of anything close To meaning or motion with reason to move I need somethin' that I wanna be close to [Chorus] And I scream But I still don't know why I do it 'Cause the sound never stays, just swells and decays So what is the point? Why try to fight what is now so certain? The truth that I am just a passing event That will be forgotten
