City Song

City streets I see your lies, I will not play your game
No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insane
But I've forgot my number, now I'm remembering my name
I've been too long traveling on your train

You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain
You tried to hypnotize me, but I see'd right through your game
And now your tatty tricks to me are really rather tame
I've been too long traveling on your train

City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears
And in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're there

Some day soon I know I'm going miles and miles away
Back to the garden where the magic children play
And to the country lady who knows more than I can say
Whose night shines brighter than your day

City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears
And in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're there
