lyrics

This City Cries All Night

We were born in the cracks in the wall
Got our names off of bathroom stalls
Can’t tell the difference between good and the bad
Cursing the names of our mom and our dad
Why don’t you come and see what we see!
This city cries all night/ This city Moans and Bawls
This city never sleeps/ This city eats all her young
Our eyes glow with the buzz of the neon signs
Walk through the alleys in crooked lines
We Hate the Rich! We take all their dough
We Hide away in the dark where the fuzz won’t go
Why don’t you come and see what we see!
This city cries all night/ This city made from steel and bone
This city murder is her love/ This city is the underworld
This city cries all night/ This city Squeals, and Moans and Bawls
This city never-ever sleeps/ This city eats her all her young
We can speak in the moan of the siren howls
Spread like diseases through the urban bowels
We make our way through another night
Sharpen our teeth for another fight
We walk through the garbage for miles and miles and Miles!
This city cries all night/ This city bleeds smoke and oil
This city murder is he love/ This city is the underworld
