Lyrics
The rising moon faces the sickening sun As the lights in the tower blocks go on, one by one A big shot, overlooking this black iron skyline-- Surrounded by his symbols of prosperity-- Sits back in his new leather chair Ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast I'm smiling through my teeth Anybody can be a millionaire So everybody's gotta try But by the laws of this human jungle Only the heartless will survive & down there--but for the grace of god --Go i
The smoke & the steam, & the broken down dreams The hope, & the hunger, frustration & anger The little drunken lives,-- Driven' through the traffic lights & away from who they are!
But I've been thinking of you-- In this great city of great solitude
Crossin' the central reservation, of my imagination Searchin' for the world i...left behind A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life It's all I want--& all I miss-- But how can I return, to a place that don't exist!!
From mombosa to miami, beiruit to bangladesh I've flown around the world standing On the wing of a jet Tryin' to salvage my emotions From the bottom of the oceans--
Y'see I sold my soul, to pay for my dinner My stomach grew fatter, but my heart grew thinner I ain't foolin' I'm fallin', I wasn't wicked, just weak I ain't lyin' I'm dyin', crippled by deceit--
Oh the hand that wrote the agony Has just begun-- Will be the hand that pulls the trigger --Of this gun!!!
