Gabriela Kulka - This City lyrics

rate me

Saw us in the streets hailing our taxi cabs Saw us fail and go on heaving our heavy load We were heaving to heaven our heavy load Heaving to heaven our heavy load and this city only exists in my head This city only exists in my head in my head I saw the smok reach the walls and now each wall falls the city lies in ruins, on the ruins another city grows Haunted by currents and undertows it keeps on forgetting, keeps on forgetting I'm haunted by currents and undertows, I keep forgetting But when I wasn't looking, it came back to me When I wasn't looking, it came back to me with its women, and its warm wounds, and full moons and the dogs howling noon-till-noon, so in tune with its big, black, beautiful heart Listen, ooh, the air is singing Listen, it's singing of our city Listen, oh, what a terrible sound I feel it coming down on me I feel lit pressing me down to this holy ground Saw your face light up like a light on a life-vest in a sea, a sea of people heading west Haunted by currents and undertows you kept on forgetting to turn around Haunted by currents and undertows you kept on forgetting, on forgetting that this city only exists in our heads, now This city only exists in our heads in our heads But when I wasn't looking, it came back to me When I wasn't looking, it came back to me with its women, and its warm wounds, and full moons and the dogs howling noon-till-noon, so in tune with its big, black, beautiful heart of this city It came back to me with its women, and its warm wounds, and full moons and the dogs howling noon-till-noon, so in tune with its big, black, beautiful heart
