City
(专辑: Gold Afternoon Fix - 1990)
There, smoke turns into serpents in the
air Beware, there's no sanctu'ry anywhere On this very spot, a
great city once stood It oozed with evil but it felt so good Well I
don't know Where did it go? And here, there's lots of method in the
madness dear And we're considering remaining here On this very house a
giant was born With two angry eyes and one sharp black horn Well I
don't know How could he grow? The
fountains gush wine The
chimneys spurt flowers Where me and my friends pass the
fleeting hours Well yes and no Where did they go? Goodbye, there's no reason, there's no alibi I'll try to write you a
letter from the
cyclone's eye On this very day, a
hundred years before They opened up the
future like it was a
door Well I
don't know Where did it go? The
towers stretch up, the
spires spiral odd Behind the
vicar's gate, the
sign, "Beware of God" Well I
don't know Where did he go?
