City night

City night
Where all the butcher’s blocks are looking for a bite
City night
And all the stars are spent while bullets steal their lights
City night
And all the sanctuaries vanishing from sight

City night
And all the children in their cages sleeping tight
City night
And all the inmates making love by the TV light
City night
And all the shadows roam the streets looking for fights

So give yourself to the rising wind
The gradual execution will now begin
When there’s nothing to loose
Then there’s nothing left to win

Who knows where this city ends
And the house of detention begins?
Who knows where this city ends
And the house of detention begins?

City night
And all our children in their cages sleeping tight
City night
And all the inmates making love by the TV light
City night
And all the shadows roam the streets looking for fights

So give yourself to the rising wing
The gradual execution will now begin
When there’s nothing to loose
Then there’s nothing left to win

Who knows where my body ends
And where their bodies begin?
Who knows where my body ends
And where their bodies begin?

The sky is shaking so that I can hardly stand
I’m just a kid; don’t make me feel like a man
And in the moonlight I can see your trembling hands
I’m just a kid; don’t make me feel like a man
