Cities in Dust

Water was running, children were running

You were running out of time

Under the mountain, a golden fountain

Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?

Oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

But oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

My friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

But oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

Oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

My friend

My friend

Water was running, children were running

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Water was running, children were running

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Hot and burning in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth

Molten bodies, blanket of cinders

Caught in the throes, and oh

Oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

And oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

Oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

Oh, oh, oh, your city lies in dust

My friend

My friend

My friend

My friend

Your city lies in dust

Your city lies in dust

Your city, your city

This city lies in dust

Your city, this city

Our city lies in dust

Lies in dust

It lies in dust

I love you, Siouxsie
