Dead City lyrics

Artist  : Patti Smith 
Song : Dead City



 Send "Dead City" Ringtone to your Cell 

 This dead city

Longs to be

This dead city

Longs to be free



Seven screamin' horses

Melt down in the sun

Buildin' scenes on empty dreams

And smokin' them one by one

Hee haa



The dead city

Longs to be, yea, yea

This dead city, yea

Longs to be livin', ohh



Is it any wonder

There's squalor in the sun?

With their broken schemes and their lotteries

They never get nowhere

Haa haa



Is it any wonder

They're spittin' at the sun?

God's parasites in abandoned sites

And they never have much fun

Yeah



Haa

You don't need me?

You don't need me?

Yea I

You don't need me?

Well

Mika I'll take you [incomprehensible]

You know, you just try



If I was a blind man

Would you see for me?

Or would you confuse the nature of my blues

And refuse a hand to me



Or is it any wonder

Cryin' in the sun?

Is it any wonder

I'm cryin' in the sun?

Well I built my dreams on your empty scenes

Now I'm burnin' them one by one

Haa hmm



Oh this a damn city

Oh this a dead city

Immortal city

Motor city

Success city

Longs to be

Longs to be

Longs to be



Free

Free
