Portnoy - City Of Destruction lyrics

Sleep depraved. Dawn patrol My life blood's running circles 'round my soul All the people in normal land Rest while I get a midnight tan But I... I just hope I can sleep tonight How can I shake this stain? My family thinks that I'm insane like I Got a vice on my head My brain goes on like the walking dead But I... From within and without It just keeps on screaming "You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Don't wait another day You gotta get out of the City of Destruction There is no other way" "Why are you grieving so? Everyone will die someday you know I can see your trembling hand You better flea this sun scorched land Cause I... I have been to the gate You'd better not wait" "You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Don't wait another day You gotta get out of the City of Destruction There is no other way" "You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Don't wait another day You gotta get out of the City of Destruction There is no other way" You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Where anger breeds distain Where pleasure comes with pain I've got rocks in my head Think I'd rather be dead I don't know what it's really about Got this rack on my back Satan's talkin' such smack All I know is I've got to get out [Spoken] I've gotta go talk to my wife... She'll help me make sense of this... She'll help me make sense of this
