MOG

It wasn't anything you said
But some days we hide inside
All courage gone and paralyzed

It is the City of the Dead
It is the City of the Dead
Today the jerks have got aggression
Fall in love an' fall in bed
An' I wished I could be like you
I'd do something else instead

This is the City of the Dead
Though we get beat up we don't care

While all the windows stare ahead
"Don't you know where to cop?"

Just like I know mine"
What we wear is dangerous gear
In the City of the Dead
Except I know we both lie dead
But you got drunk an' fallen down
That's what New York Johnny said
Every nation in the world
An' the streets are filled with dread
At least it livens up the air
It'll get you picked on anywhere
When we went out kickin' around
"You should get to know your town

Slinks through the alley after girls
Yeah, today the jerks have got aggression
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
It is the City of the Dead

With the Soho River drinking me down
