City Life

Another lifeless party, another empty stare
Another line upon my face and another greying hair
Tell me something, sister, where did I go wrong?
Trouble waits outside my door and listens as I sing this song to you

Living in the city, I'm surrounded by all these heads hangin' down
Mazes got me crazy, and I don't know if I can find my way out

I've been going crazy, I don't know what to do
My back is up against the wall, I might take it out on you
Politics and pressure, the pains of growing old
Living in the city seems to take a portion of my soul away

Living in the city, I'm surrounded by all these heads hangin' down
Mazes got me crazy, and I don't know if I can find my way out

Darkness all around me, nowhere else to go
Tell me what's the secret of this life, I'll never know
Hand-in-hand with sorrow, eye-to-eye with pain
When I walk down these dirty streets
Can you tell me why it always rains on me?

Living in the city, I'm surrounded by all these heads hangin' down
Mazes got me crazy, and I don't know if I can find my way out
