City streets I see your lies, I will not play your game

No longer will you talk to me, you think I'm going insane

But I've forgot my number, now I'm remembering my name

I've been too long traveling on your train

You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain

You tried to hypnotize me, but I see'd right through your game

And now your tatty tricks to me are really rather tame

I've been too long traveling on your train

City lights don't shine, they glare

And your music doesn't speak, it swears

And in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're there

Some day soon I know I'm going miles and miles away

Back to the garden where the magic children play

And to the country lady who knows more than I can say

Whose night shines brighter than your day

City lights don't shine, they glare

And your music doesn't speak, it swears

And in your streets, the ghosts have forgotten why they're there
