Art Isn’t Real (City of Sin)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am the dotted line And you fill me in with whatever you like I am just going through the motions And I need an old fashioned potion There's gotta be some old recipe 'Cause I gotta get drunk I gotta forget about some things [Verse 2] I lived in lies all my life And I've been living here for a long, long time And I know it's been coming down a while now When it shows, then you get me on the dial But right now you're halfway around the world And maybe I'll see better days But I'm not so sure I will [Verse 3] I'm still hanging 'round and 'round Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound In the bowels of history and time Well, I have learned to stay back and never shine Now I feel stupid when I smile For not a journey, a circus are our lives [Verse 4] I can't make up for everything I waste And I know that I could never afford a taste Of anything that your lovely hands make It eats away with a force so great Just 'cause it brings a smile to my face Such a bad memory, you just can't erase [Verse 5] I know of a city to steal from And I know of a city to cheat on And I know of a city of sin And that's the place that I wanna meet you in And say hello all over again Romance me, take me back to the beginning
