Cities In Dust

Siouxsie And The Banshees · Tinderbox (Remastered) [2009]

Water was running, children were running

You were running out of time

Under the mountain, a golden fountain

Were you praying at the Lares shrine



But oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend



We found you hiding, we found you lying

Choking on the dirty sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands



But oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Your city lies in dust



Water was running, children were running

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Water was running, children were running

We found you hiding, we found you lying



Your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend



Hot and burning, in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth

Your multen bodies, blanket of cinders

Caught in the throes - eeey



Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

Your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend
