MacCormack- |
|
ManzaneraWell, 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 turned away from |
|
Now you're trapped |
|
Down in the |
|
City of Light |
|
You'll go crazy |
|
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 invitationto liaisons swift with cold |
|
In rainswept streets, the pimps are calculating |
|
Acts of haste, the clients, lives 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 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 |
