City Blues

(Album: Blood Brothers - 2007)

It's so hot in the city
Makes it hard to stay cool
He was restless out in the suburbs
So he ran away from school
He needed money
To keep the game real
He's not smart enough for working
So he's learning how to steal

Thunder and lightning, sweet summer rain
Like the seasons passing, is it all just a game?

Summer sun heats the city
And the warm winds cool the night
Sirens tear at the silence
As night bird takes flight
She came looking for so much. We wept
While it passed her by
Cause there's so much more to living
Than just waiting 'round to die

Thunder and lightning, sweet summer rain
Like the seasons passing, is love only pain?

Hear the sounds in the city
She screams and she moans
Love is a bell that rings
Life is a fleeting thing
Once you've heard that music play
Magic quickly fades away
