[00:12.24]This is the city of the dead
[00:14.64]As we lie side by side in bed
[00:17.34]I'd do something else instead
[00:19.74]But it is the city of the dead
[00:22.17]We went out kickin' around
[00:24.69]But you got drunk an' fallen down
[00:26.76]An' i wished i could be like you
[00:29.37]With the soho river drinking me down
[00:35.91]In the city of the dead
[00:36.45]Fall in love an' fall in bed
[00:40.89]It wasn't anything you said
[00:43.59]Except i know we both lie dead
[00:46.59]Don't you know where to cop
[00:48.30]That's what new york johnny said **** **** **** ****
[00:50.31]You should get to know your town
[00:52.92]Just like i know mine
[01:00.81]While all the windows stare ahead
[01:02.01]An' the streets are filled with dread
[01:06.36]Every nation in the world
[01:06.90]Slinks through the alley after girls
[01:08.37]What we wear is dangerous gear
[01:11.16]It'll get you picked on anywhere
[01:13.26]Though we get beat up we don't care
[01:14.82]At least it livens up the air
[01:31.53]But somedays we hide inside
[01:33.51]All courage gone and paralysed
[01:35.52]Sniff that wind of ugly tension
[01:38.16]Today the jerks have got aggression
[01:51.90]It is the city of the dead
