City of Destruction
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.
Sleep depraved. Dawn patrol
My life blood's running circles 'round my soul
All the people in normal land
Rest while I get a midnight tan
But I
I just hope I can sleep tonight
How can I shake this stain?
My family thinks that I'm insane like I
Got a vice on my head
My brain goes on like the walking dead
But I
From within and without
It just keeps on screaming
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way
Why are you grieving so?
Everyone will die someday you know
I can see your trembling hand
You better flea this sun scorched land
Cause I
I have been to the gate
You'd better not wait
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Where anger breeds distain
Where pleasure comes with pain
I've got rocks in my head
Think I'd rather be dead
I don't know what it's really about
Got this rack on my back
Satan's talkin' such smack
All I know is I've got to get out
I've gotta go talk to my wife
She'll help me make sense of this
She'll help me make sense of this
