The City Lyrics

I came form the desert
Where for miles you could see
Where the weight of the space
Blurred your waking and dreaming
And if a stranger appeared at a distance it seemed
I was helpless as someone was walking
Right through me
Why'd I get on that train?
Where came my money?
It came in a letter that was perfumed and sweet
The smell of which rekindled
All my long lost feelings
Next time I'm locking out a feeling
I'll be ditching that mother fucking key
For keeps

Well I went where the people
They walk like statues
I got climbing up a stairwell in the gloom
Number 14 stank of flowers and cruelty
And the air was so hued
It was like through an ocean
I was steering
And sure enough she steered me
Where she wanted me to
And if you'd seen her my friend
I recon you'd agree too
She does for lovin' what a war does for truth

By land and by sea
Raining down metal
Chambers awaking from sleep

We went deep into winter
Sleep rolled me like waves
While she kept a vigil
On her house like a maze
I should have beat her or killed her
Or just ran away
But she held me together
Just long enough
To keep me deranged

Well I've been living in a shelter
That is far from pretty
You gotta wonder why I stayed here in the city
Where the clouds full of concrete
And you're dead on your feet
It all comes down to a simple convenience
You come as you go
Stay as you leave
I came from the desert where for miles you can see
To this 8 by 10 room
A tab of morphine
Getting lost in yourself is that much easier
Where the scrapers point skywards
Like guns pointed out to sea
