The City of the Dead

Oowww

This is the city of the dead
As we lie side by side in bed (oowww)
I'd do something else instead
But it is the city of the dead (oowww)

We went out kickin' around
But you got drunk an fallen down
An I wished I could be like you
With the Soho river drinking me down

In the city of the dead
Fall in love an fall in bed (oowww)
It wasnt anything you said
Except I know we both lie dead (oowww)

Don't you know where to cop
That's what New York Johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like I know mine

While all the windows stare ahead
An' the streets are filled with dread (oowww)
Every nation in the world
Slinks through the alley after girls (oowww)

What we wear is dangerous gear
Itll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we dont care
At least it livens up the air

But somedays we hide inside
All courage gone and paralysed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression, again
The jerks have got aggression

It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
