City Of Sadness Lyrics

Where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

I thought we had this figured out

Now where do we begin?

She's just another raped and bleeding teenaged hooker on the street

Looking for a fix to make the empty night complete

She picks herself back up and limps off slowly through the rain

Undoes another button on her shirt to hide the pain

And she says trust me I'm a good lay

My God there must be a better way

And I say where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

I thought we had this figured out

Now where do we begin?

He's just another homeless wino with a Jews harp and a box

His radio keeps picking up the ticking of the clocks

Saliva flavored dirt and cold indifference on his cheeks

He stumbles drools and coughs up tar and liquor when he speaks

And he says trust me I want to play

My God there must be a better way

And I said where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

I thought we had this figured out

Now where do we begin?

They were a couple meant to couple for a couple times that night

In the corner of an alley where the rats would squeal and bite

A dark and dismal love affair a mixing of disease

A passion hot and furious a fire that you could freeze

Trust me live for the day

My God there must be a better way

Where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

I thought we had this figured out

Now where do we begin?

Where do we begin?

In this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

I thought we had this figured out

Where do we begin?

Where do we begin?

In this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

Where in this cradle of sin

Where in this city of sadness

Where do we begin?

Where do we begin?
