The Lonely City

The lonely city does not sleep

Or keep her promises to you

Her strange property's so cheap

'Cause the ghosts are seeping through

Are you a wolf or a sheep

Yeah I wonder what's eating you

Jesus hesitating all the time

Every line that you do

And I don't know

And I don't care

Lonely city everywhere

Poor little lonely city

Sad little town

Oh, the loneliness abounds

In our grounds

The lonely city does not stop

Or drop her blessings unto you

In the railyards and docks

All the clocks tick-tocking, too

Jesus disappearing in the thin air

Lonely city everywhere

But I don't care

Plus I don't know

Lonely city, hey hello

The lonely city does not speak

Or seek an audience with thee

Her countenance is so bleak

Right down to the freaking sea

Jesus meditating all the while

The lonely city makes me smile

And I don't know

Plus I don't care

Lonely city everywhere

Everywhere
