We sleep in the city of dreams We have settled under the dust We take 40,000 winks On the threshold of Unanswerable lust God's gone back to heaven He's deserted us But what the hell He never understood us anyway Have our souls pined away? Have we sowed our seed in vain? Has he set his face against us And now shall we be slain? This is the Stone Age of our desire These are our formative years Don't let them say the devil Slaked his raging thirst On our filthy tears God's gone back to heaven He's deserted us But what the hell He never understood us anyway We simply may be evil I don't care if it's true We simply may be evil I don't care if it's true I'm going to try anything, try anything Because I really want you I've got to have everything, have everything Because I really really need to God's gone back to heaven He's deserted us But what the hell He never understood us anyway
