In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers to the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long

Who's gonna get up after where gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after where gone?

In the city
Where I'm from
Lions in cages just for fun
But you will passé around your cage
And wait for night to come

In the city
Where I'm from
They shoot you down
If you're wrong

But we don't stop to check the time
'Cause time keeps moving on and on and on

Who's gonna get up after where gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after where gone?

I see you in another place
I extract a familiar face
The city joins us with hands of grace
Hands free there are no castrates
Just a normal _ you see
The illusion of you and me
Illusions come illusions go
And if you leave you'll never go on

In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers to the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long

Who's gonna get up after where gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after where gone?

The city joins us with hands of grace
Hands free there are no castrates

Illusions come illusions go
And if you leave you'll never know
