The Lonely City

The lonely city does not sleep
Or keep her promises to you
Her strange property's so cheap
'Cause the ghosts are seeping through
Are you a wolf or a sheep
Yeah I wonder what's eating you

Jesus hesitating all the time
Every line that you do
And I don't know
And I don't care
Lonely city everywhere

Poor little lonely city
Sad little town
Oh, the loneliness abounds
In our grounds

The lonely city does not stop
Or drop her blessings unto you
In the railyards and docks
All the clocks tick-tocking, too

Jesus disappеaring in the thin air
Lonely city evеrywhere
But I don't care
Plus I don't know
Lonely city, hey hello

The lonely city does not speak
Or seek an audience with thee
Her countenance is so bleak
Right down to the freaking sea

Jesus meditating all the while
The lonely city makes me smile
And I don't know
Plus I don't care
Lonely city everywhere
Everywhere
