Ian Stuart - Down in the City lyrics

Feeling low, which way to go now It's a freak-show, down in the city Broken dreams, and desperate screams The switchblade gleams, down in the city Empty cans, forgotten plans Begging hands, down in the city Litter strewn, a broken tune End comes soon, down in the city (chorus) Down, yeah down Down, down in the city Down, yeah down Down, down in the city Nothing's new, the mood is blue Now What's the truth, down in the city The streets of gold are really yellow mold The heart is cold, down in the city Watch your back, never slack The soul is black, down in the city Look around, at every sound Compa**ion has drowned, down in the city. (chorus) Instrumental break (chorus) Rough and stormy seas, the Nation's on its knees Either vein please, down in the city Try to escape, to get into shape Leave the riot and rape, down in the city d**h's on the prowl, walker once heard a growl With a scythe and dark cowl, down in the city Gathering gloom, spelling out doom The reaper comes soon, down in the city (chorus) repeat to fade
