Sad Sad City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Been getting tired of my motor running
Feeling over heated cause my life keeps coming
My heart has been troubled by the speed of love
Searching these streets for a soul committee
Talking ideas on lust and pity
The fables I've found have no place at home
Well I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Well, roll the dice, pay the price
Dance with wolves in a pack of lies
The blood we crave shall drive us all insane
Outer space, it's a lovely place
A long lost love in a flower vase
Laying on the floor shattered, battered and bruised
Well I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Well I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you, to want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
