One city sleeps, though lights never cease
Astonishing me through clouds and over dreams

One city fades
For rent and maze
Through turbulent stages
One city unchanged

One city hears
It's children in tears
Babies shed tears falling from their first years

One city gone
From night that one charm
A love has been known, one city alone

One city rests with rain and lust on buildings and curbs
Well they screw without words
These people's lives
Cut with bad knives
But who is to blame for one city and place

Soul upon soul strive for this control
The buildings will break
They will find their escape from palms that sweat
Forgive not forget the fingers that bleed
One city in need
