Inner Cities

If love is a country can i visit you there?
If life is a city we would live somewhere
in the center, on top of some bar
with a view of all the traffic, the rivers of cars
I just can't believe the dangers one must survive
Couldn't leave alive even if we tried
while all the bad girls and sad boys
sharpen their knives
In the Inner Cities of our Lives
I'd write you from the airport
I'd write you from hotels
I'll write you from the other side
And i hope it finds you well
You know I'll never be
Like one of those cynics on TV
Cause life is not a transit hall,
No backstage lounge
No long forgotten shopping mall
Now the whole world's missing out on you
I cried and knew, we travel light
To the Inner Cities of Our Lives
I know it doesn't help staring at the clock
Knowing tonight the time will stop
I round up the demons surrounding me
Asking to see their manager please
I lit a candle and knew it's light
Could handle the darkness the entire night
Now the only chance that we'll ever meet
Is if I'd see you on the street
In the Inner Cities of Our Lives
