Leave This City Lyrics
Gone forever the writing on the wall
They’ve boarded-up the cinema
Strawberry dreams and the dust-filled beams
Shut down in a modern town
See you walking, see you talking
Recollection on streets you used to know
Forgotten pleasures smolder
Images fade, but the town won’t let them go
Sleepwalking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, leave this city behind you
Drive wherever the roads will take you to
Down beside a river, frozen brown
January days and their scarecrow trees
So cold, feel your ears burn
See you walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, leave this city behind you
Past and present, they converge on every side
The wires all get tangled and, now and then, collide
Bittersweet taste of a time and another place before
Sleep walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, feel this city define you
Yeah, leave this city behind you
They’ve boarded-up the cinema
Strawberry dreams and the dust-filled beams
Shut down in a modern town
Forgotten pleasures smolder
Images fade, but the town won’t let them go
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, leave this city behind you
Down beside a river, frozen brown
January days and their scarecrow trees
So cold, feel your ears burn
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, leave this city behind you
The wires all get tangled and, now and then, collide
Bittersweet taste of a time and another place before
Feel the city inside you
Ooo, feel this city define you
Yeah, leave this city behind you
