(Verlaine)

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here

the main draw, as they say

But such contraction is hard to bear

Let's clear it away

I used to crack a lot of safes

Now, here I am dealing scrap

It's a living but not a life.

What a beautiful trap

Let's clear it away



Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here

and there you are in search of novelty

You take a big bite of your appetite

and then you tell me that I'm starving - Oh no

Let's clear it away

clear it away

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
