The City Songtext
Street lights are shining so bright
While I?m trying to get some place tonight
So I?m longing for a place to sleep
For a hideout in the dark
Passing by many sleepwalkers
Who don?t know who they are
Welcome to a life under glass
On display for everyone to see
I?ll beat you
I?ll beart you, city
We are all prisoners of our own security
Cars are pushing
Themselves through the city
Like maggots through a corpse
Which is cold and long forgotten
But they are still around
To fill it up with life
and keep it breathing for a while
Welcome to a life under glass
Where they record every words you say
Welcome to the city
Of spies which is constantly growing every day...
While I?m trying to get some place tonight
So I?m longing for a place to sleep
For a hideout in the dark
Passing by many sleepwalkers
Who don?t know who they are
Welcome to a life under glass
On display for everyone to see
I?ll beat you
I?ll beart you, city
We are all prisoners of our own security
Cars are pushing
Themselves through the city
Like maggots through a corpse
Which is cold and long forgotten
But they are still around
To fill it up with life
and keep it breathing for a while
Welcome to a life under glass
Where they record every words you say
Welcome to the city
Of spies which is constantly growing every day...
