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
