In the city there's a thousand reasons but I've lost them all
Thought I found it in the arms of her but she's a nice to fall
In the city there's a heavy cloud on a morphine sky
And the beggars they line the curb like in times gone by
And she said,
you wanna settle down but I'm not sure
And she said that I'm being selfish cause I want more
You
don't love me
the way you ought to
You
don't see things the way that I do
So we go drinking,
entertain ourselves,
get kicked out of her sport
She turns to me and says,
you don't love me believe
Can you set my body on fire?
In the city there's a sea of love but I've found none
Except the sort that only lasts a month or two,
that's gone
In the city there's a pair of brothers with brick dust in their hair
And they're locked in a bitter fight on a woman's stare
And yet she said,
you wanna settle down or stay tumbled to the floor
And she said that you're being selfish
cause you got a beautiful baby boy
You don't love me
the way you ought to,
boy You don't see things the way that I do
So
he goes drinking,
entertains himself,
gets kicked out of every bar
And he's walking home with a bag of dust and he said,
can you set my body on fire?
