In The City

[I'm working for the dogs in the city]
Your mind was strong but your body was weak
Now your body's here but your mind has snuffed it
I think it's time that somebody stopped it.
On the screen there's a boy with no name
It looks like like you but it's just not the same
You're so damn gone, I can hardly see you
It must have been a double at the BBC
Oh yeah...
In the city, in the disco
[Think you're] pretty, [ ... ]
It's a shit-hole, you're a hero,
You're a freak-oh....
Just when I think I'm getting the knack
I'll see you and have a panic attack
I'm an acrobat on the channel changer
And it seems I'm out of danger
Oh yeah....
In the city, in the disco
[Think you're] pretty, [ ... ]
It's a shit-hole, you're a hero,
You're a freak-oh....
