Artist/Band: The Clash
Lyrics for Song: City Of The Dead
Lyrics for Album: From Here To Eternity [1999]



this is the city of the dead

as we lie side by side in bed

i'd do something else instead

but it is the city of the dead



we went out kickin' around

but you got drunk an' fallen down

an' i wished i could be like you

with the soho river drinking me down



in the city of the dead

fall in love an' fall in bed

it wasn't anything you said

except i know we both lie dead



don't you know where to cop

that's what new york johnny said

you should get to know your town

just like i know mine



while all the windows stare ahead

an' the streets are filled with dread

every nation in the world

slinks through the alley after girls



what we wear is dangerous gear

it'll get you picked on anywhere

though we get beat up we don't care

at least it livens up the air



but somedays we hide inside

all courage gone and paralysed

sniff that wind of ugly tension

today the jerks have got aggression



it is the city of the dead
