Siouxsie and the Banshees
Cities In Dust (Extended 12 Version)
[Chorus]

Ooh-oh, oh your city lies in dust

[Music Interlude]

[Chorus]

Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust...my friend

[Music Interlude]

[Verse 1]

Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares Shrine?

[Chorus]

But ooh-oh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
Ooh-oh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
[Verse 2]

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories, and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands

[Chorus}

But ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh-ohhhh
Ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, ooh-ohhh
Ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, ooh-ohhh

[Music Interlude]

[Bridge]

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying

[Chorus}

Oh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh

[Verse 3]

Hot and burning, in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and...

[Chorus]

Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-ooh-oh, oh your city lies in dust...my friend

[Outro]

Your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust...my friend
Your city lies in dust...
Ooh-oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa-oh, oh your city lies in dust
