Cities May Fall Testo

the city in defeat
with no one left ro beat
there's still a fading desire
to burn a naked light
just to defy the night
come on and call me a liar

a crumble tumble down
in fumble bumble town
our lives a ruin we reconstruct a bit
and pretty up a bit
we hardly know what we're doing

Chorus:
but me and my baby
make the best of this world
she's like a diamond
innocent girl
we watch the sign of the times
writing on the wall - cities my fall

back through the city fog
i was another cog
for the machinery there
now the machines have gone
the silence hanging on
i sit, i stare

repeat Chorus
come on and take your aim
i feel the mildest pain
protecting something so rare
'cos there's a gem or two
inside the human zoo
if only you are aware

repeat Chorus
