Theatre Of Tragedy - City Of Light lyrics

rate me

High-rise buildings

Low cost apartments

Financial district

Industrial area

Rows of blue collars

Steelworkers' clink-clang

Metal rhythm left and right

This is the city, city of light

Flicker

Click on

Click off

Click on

The faceless men

The machines of the city

6 p.m. whistle

Next the inner city

Smiling grimey faces

Tea at the local pub

Low-cut dresses

High-spirited workers

Sizzling neon-lights, click on

This is the city, city of light

Flicker

Click on

Click off

Click on

The faceless men

The machines of the city

2 a.m. binge

Low-life slagheap

Used up and burnt out

Like a kick in the teeth

Ramble, shamble on home

Grime back in harness

Metal rhythm left and right

This is the city, city of light

Flicker

Click on

Click off

Click on

The faceless men

The machines of the city
