Death of a City

歌詞

Did Ray really survive the death of a city that once was alive? Still wears bespoke suits. He feels fireproof Maybe religion still offers him proof And he walks right through you and I now, silently making his usual rounds Oh, you're over and done with now You've broken my heart in But that's not important A minor misfortune Now you're over and done with now The death of a city And nobody really cared Backstreets, somebody weeps Closed-circuit cameras are making the sweep And they look down on grass turning brown 'Cos nothing is able to live in this town So you go out, late, and look for the stars All you see is orange on the clouds Are we able to see what somebody was dreaming in steel and in stone? Streets laid, workers were paid And the skyline was something that everyone owned And you know...sometimes that's all you get to No, you're not going now Not when we're still enough to hear our own sounds Like when we breathe through each other's mouths The broken-out window gives view to the south Now was it just a trick of the light, or did I see movement attracting my sight? Is it somebody waiting for word to pull the curtain down? But don't cry 'Cos it's over and done with now
