Tindersticks - City Sickness lyrics

rate me

I'm crawling, don't know where to or from

The centre of things from where everything stems

Is not where I belong

And the city sickness, growing inside me

So this is where I ran for freedom

Where I may not be free

Chorus:

I have these hands beating with love for you

And you're not here to touch

Sent you away, what else can I do

When I need something that much?

I'm hurting babe, in the city there's no place for love

It's just used to make people feel better

It's not like us

I got this sickness as I got off the train

Now it chafes away at my heart

Until nothing remains

(Chorus)

I'm okay afterwards

Afterwards lasts for minutes only

I'm okay during

You kind of fill up my mind

It's just that before, may last forever

It's just that before, may just fuck my mind

(Chorus)
