The city in defeat,

With no one left to beat,

There's still a fading desire,

To burn a naked light,

Just to defy the night,

Come on and call me a liar.



A crumble tumble down,

In fumble bumble town,

Our lives a ruin,

We reconstruct a bit,

And pretty up a bit,

We hardly know what we're doing.



Chorus:

But me and my baby,

Make the best of this world,

She's like a diamond,

Innocent girl.

We watch the sign of the times,

Writing on the wall-cities may fall.



Back through the city fog,

I was another cog,

For the machinery there,

Now the machines have gone,

The silence hanging on,

I sit, i stare.



Chorus repeated



Come on and take your aim,

I feel the mildest pain,

Protecting something so rare,

'cos there's a gem or two.

Inside the human zoo,

If only you are aware.



Chorus repeated.
