Cities May Fall

The city in defeat, With no one left to 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 may 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 [Chorus: ] Come on and take your aim I feel the mildest pain Protecting something so rare 'Cause there's a gem or two Inside the human zoo If only you are aware [Chorus: ]
