Pictures of a City
[Instrumental Intro: 00:00-01:06]
[Verse 1]
Concrete cold face cased in steel
Stark sharp glass-eyed, crack and peel
Bright light scream beam, brake and squeal
Red white green white neon wheel
[Instrumental Break: 01:34-02:24]
[Verse 2]
Dream flesh love chase perfumed skin
Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
Spice ice dance chance, sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot, sweat and spit
[Instrumental Break: "42nd at Treadmill" 02:53-06:56]
[Verse 3]
Blind stick blind drunk, cannot see
Mouth dry tongue tied, cannot speak
Concrete dream flesh, broken shell
Lost soul, lost trace, lost in hell
[Instrumental Outro]
