City of Light
View ArtistLyrics
Well, they say that home is where the heart is But you left way back and started roaming For these streets that were so bright with promise Mother's love is what you've turned away from Now you're trapped Down in the City of Light you'll go crazy Try as you might you'll be lost in the maze of The City of Light, City of Light Blinds are drawn cross windows facing nowhere In the day the darkness is complete Close your eyes and try to cry away your nightmares You just know the downtown city street Where darkness reigns Down in the City of Light you'll go crazy Try as you might, there's no end to your days in The City of Light, City of Light You know these streets so well Each drugstore, night club and bar Don't try to run from here You're not allowed to get far Hookers prowl, the look, the pout The open invitation to liaisons swift and cold In rain-swept streets the pimps are calculating Acts of haste, the clients' lies they've bought and sold Sell yours too Down in the City of Light things go hazy Try as you might, you'll go blind in the blaze of The City of Light, City of Light There's been sudden death, a knife down on the eastside You can stand so much, then instinct takes its head And though the people say that 'home is where the heart is' They don't know that this damned city's heart is dead There's no escape… Down in the City of Light you'll go crazy Try as you might, you can never be saved from The City of Light, City of Light You know these streets too well Each drugstore, night club and dive There's no route out of here You only know one way to survive
