With no one left to beat,
There's still a fading desire,
To burn a naked light,
Just to defy the night,
Come on and call me a liar.
A crumble tumble down,
In fumble bumble town,
Our lives a ruin,
We reconstruct a bit,
And pretty up a bit,
We hardly know what we're doing.
Chorus:
But me and my baby,
Make the best of this world,
She's like a diamond,
Innocent girl.
We watch the sign of the times,
Writing on the wall-Cities may fall.
Back through the city fog,
I was another cog,
For the machinery there,
Now the machines have gone,
The silence hanging on,
I sit, I stare.
Chorus Repeated
Come on and take your aim,
I feel the mildest pain,
Protecting something so rare,
Cause there's a gem or two.
Inside the human zoo,
If only you are aware.
Chorus Repeated.
The city in defeat, With no one left to beat, There's still a fading desire, To burn a naked light, Just to defy the night, Come on and call me a liar. A crumble tumble down, In fumble bumble town, Our lives a ruin, We reconstruct a bit, And pretty up a bit, We hardly know what we're doing. Chorus: But me and my baby, Make the best of this world, She's like a diamond, Innocent girl. We watch the sign of the times, Writing on the wall-Cities may fall. Back through the city fog, I was another cog, For the machinery there, Now the machines have gone, The silence hanging on, I sit, I stare. Chorus Repeated Come on and take your aim, I feel the mildest pain, Protecting something so rare, Cause there's a gem or two. Inside the human zoo, If only you are aware. Chorus Repeated.
