THROUGH THE LIGHTS OF THE CITY
They call her name in the lights of the city
And oh, she is searching, searching for a home
She said: “I’ve seen
too many ghosts in the city;
I’ll never be another ghost in the city…”
And oh, all this wanting,
a longing to be whole
They will lay her
body down
But will they ever
know her mind?
As they claim her
body now
She is radiating light.
She writes her name
on the walls of the city
Inscribes her name on
the walls of the city
And oh, she is
burning, the one eternal light
She is aflame and in flight through the city
She leaves a trail in the sky of the city
And oh, she is
pulsing and strobing through the night
They will lay her
body down
But will they ever know her mind?
They defame her body now
But they will never still her fight.
They will lay her body down
But will they ever
know her mind?
They will lay her body down
But will they ever know her…?
She is everywhere
She is in the air
She’s suspended there
Everywhere, everywhere
We could start a new religion
We could end the Third World War
Take up arms above this city
Cross their hands and heal them all
Lay on the floor now
With all the lights out
They’ll break the door down
Lay on the floor now
With all the lights out
She’s not fucking breathing…
Violins swell on the
deck of the liner
And as the ship went down, you never looked finer…
