Dear City, You Quickly Forget (Live al Rive Jazz Club) (Live) Lyrics

Dear City, you look very silent tonight

This habit you acquired, it survived

Under your fingernails and your violent side

But you're so silent

You quickly forget about every man

Including me, my hunger

And my strong desire for you

Since I left my small town

That day I felt the call on my skin

You opened your arms, you trusted me

You gave me that fresh look that nowhere in my old and unmoving country

I could find

A look you eventually

You eventually quickly forget

You came to the city the same way I did

First cultural attraction

Then the ongoing obsession

Its tentacles won't let you go, won't let you

While I read your goodbye note

On another social messaging for phones

Next to that shisha bar

Where you used to go to meet someone

You were typing in a silent flat

You were wrapped in your ex-pat flag

But no one will reply in the end

We just always leave a message

We just always leave a message

Then we quickly forget
