The Flower Kings - City Of Angels lyrics

The sun is up, the early morning flavours once more set up the trades and all the tables we speak of progress, soon we speak of wars we say hello/goodbye, we close the doors The sun is gone for just about an hour in comes the cheaters and notorious liars like serpents crawling, close the ivory towers This called "the coming of the business hour" The native world they gather around the fire to feed their swirling dragons of desire "The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact take one step forward then move two steps back We all provide the monsters of excess to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest "A man is nothing more than his success" this selfconsuming race will be your test A million lights them keep the city bright the words are right but not the melody There's no one begging here on Eco street But souls are starving to pedestrian beats So many living here from day to day They dream of "something else" but still they stay This monster of a city takes it's toll will no one ever hear or heed your call (I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels Looking for love So many different dreams and different tales A twist of fate, it's a turn of fortune wheels The educated rise and make their calls Before the blanket of oblivion fall They took your land, they took your history in grand old gestures saying you are free they took your youth, they took the labour years and last of all they took your dignity (I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels Looking for love The native world they gather around the fire to feed their swirling demons of desire "The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact take one step forward moving two steps back We all must feed the monsters of excess to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest "A man is nothing more than his success" this selfconsuming race will be your test
