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 seems 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 sea 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

'Cos when you scratch through 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

(Solo)

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

It's an empty city, empty city
