Dead City Lyrics - Peace And Noise - Patti Smith

This dead city longs to be 

This dead city longs to be free 

Seven screaming horses 

Melt down in the sun 

Building scenes on empty dreams 

And smoking them one by one 

This dead city longs to be 

This dead city longs to be living 

Is it any wonder there's squalor in the sun 

With their broken schemes and their lotteries 

They never get nowhere

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Is it any wonder they're spitting at the sun 

God's parasites in abandoned sites 

and they never have much fun 

If I was a blind man 

Would you see for me 

Or would you confuse 

The nature of my blues 

And refuse a hand to me 

Is it any wonder crying in the sun 

Is it any wonder I'm crying in the sun 

Well I built my dreams on your empty scenes 

Now I'm burning them one by one 

This damn city this dead city 

Immortal city 

Motor city 

Suc-cess city 

Longs to be 

Longs to be 

Free 

Free
