Citylife Lyrics

Open the window and breathe the ozone

In my tower of glass in a concrete jungle

Took all I had to rise up from my throne

I prefer to keep safe from the outside rabble

Just ignore the thunder

Coming from below

'Cos the earth will rumble

With cries of a world in limbo

We are here

Living a high and mighty life

Floating inches from the sky

Shut your ears

And quickly close the blinds, yeah

What does the man in the street know about life?

I was fine, resting these old bones

What can I do in these times of peril?

All I can do to get myself involved

Is proselytise to the restless cattle

But I do my best to stay out of trouble

I guess that's the way the city crumbles

We are here

Living a high and mighty life

Floating inches from the sky

Shut your ears

And quickly close the blinds, yeah

What does the man in the street know about life?

(Close the blinds)

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire

Spit on the fire!

(All I do is spit on the fire)

(All I do is spit on the fire)

I lived here

Flying high, safe as a kite

I was scraping 'gainst the sky

Saw the tears

And I tried to close my eyes, yeah

And now no-one hears my cries

All around me lies my life

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire

From this high-rise sky-pyre

All I can do is spit on the fire!
