Empty 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.
Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
It's a fatal attraction
That pulls you like a moth to the flame
Empty city, sitting waiting in the hills
Babylonian, promising all kinds of thrills
Here they all know what they want
And they chase it with a passion that kills
Empty city, what's easy come don't let it go
Count your money, every day it seams to grow
Build a wall around your dream
Get a gun, don't let nobody close
Are you happy with the life that you chose?
She came in from the desert and the dust
And now she's trying to stay afloat on a crazy see of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city has no heart
It'll rape your mind and sell your body
It'll tear your soul apart, tear it apart
Cause when you scratch thru the surface
You won't find a damn thing underneath
And everybody's moving on
That's why I believe it's an empty city
It's an empty city
Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
It's a fatal attraction
That pulls you like a moth to the flame
Til you've forgotten your name
Where the streets are lined with pain
But I can't stay away
Empty city
Empty city
