Heartbreak

Heartbreak City

Strange is the night

Catch the next train from self pity

It takes you straight to Heartbreak City

Don’t have to ask for a first class ticket

Because it’s free for those who deserve the visit

Take a walk on lonely street now

Don’t you stop, don’t you shuffle your feet now

Never look back to where you came from

Nothing there but a goblin maelstrom

You’re goin’ to

Heartbreak City, you can’t let go

The fools in love, the too much and the not enough

Heartbreak City, strange is the night

Where black stars rise with strange moons in the skies

Days obscured by silent sorrow

I hope to hell it’s better tomorrow

Fools are nailed at the glowing skyline

Burning angels make, ooh, the night shine

One last chance now and you’ve had many

Oh, they all, they just passed you by

Hold on tight now, the train is moving

Another day, another goodbye

Say hello to

Heartbreak City, you can’t let go

The fools in love, the too much and the not enough

Heartbreak City, a creeping sorrow

A pallid dolly, ten courts to hell and a dead man’s folly

Heartbreak, you can't let go

The fools in love

Heartbreak, strange is the night

Where black stars rise

Heartbreak, a pallid dolly

A dead man's folly

Heartbreak, it don’t heal clean

The fools in love (the too much and the not enough)

Heartbreak City, it don’t heal clean

The fools in love, the too much and the not enough

Heartbreak City, strange is the night

Where black stars rise with strange moons in the skies

Heartbreak City, the king in yellow

The falling rain, they won’t help to ease your pain

(Strange is the night)

Catch the next train from self pity

It takes you straight to Heartbreak City

Catch the next train from self pity

It takes you straight to Heartbreak City
