Well in this city of mine the wanderers tumble
Looking for cracks of light among the buildings
Oh they're searching for signs of life in the rubble
Of broken dreams and memories in the night
But I saw you in the dark
You were wearing a mask of hope and a twisted smile, a twisted smile
You said come won't you run away
Oh won't you run away with me
Oh I saw you in the dark
You were wearing a mask of hope and a twisted smile, a twisted smile
You said come won't you run away
Oh won't you run away with me
To the City
Well in the back alley boardrooms the children gather
And the smell grows of a desperate, desperate patience
But at the top of the towers the hungry linger
Counting all the souls they've tasted tonight
But I saw you in the dark
You were wearing a mask of hope and a twisted smile, a twisted smile
You said come won't you run away
Oh won't you run away with me
Oh I saw you in the dark
You were wearing a mask of hope and a twisted smile, a twisted smile
You said come won't you run away
Oh won't you run away with me
To the City
Oh I took your hand and drank all your promises
Bared my soul ate all your lies
Stopped my heart just to have this one more time
Oh I took your hand and drank all your promises
Bared my soul ate all your lies
Stopped my heart just to have this one more time
Oh I took your hand and drank all your promises
Bared my soul ate all your lies
Stopped my heart just to have this one more time
Oh I took your hand and drank all your promises
Bared my soul ate all your lies
Stopped my heart just to have this one more time
Oh I saw you in the dark
You were wearing a mask of hope and a twisted smile, a twisted smile
You said come won't you run away
Oh won't you run away with me
To the City
