from "Further Up, Further In"

lyrics

Somewhere in this still cold night
A drug enters a vein
Somewhere in this sea of lost souls
Someone cries a lover’s name

Down in a lakeside park
A body lies so still
While up in the penthouse
The champagne starts to chill

Hear the city, hear it hum

Somewhere in a stairwell
A knife flashes through the air
Somewhere a man with head in hands
Cries oh why can’t life be fair

Meanwhile in a bright-lit room
New life opens its eyes
And over in a lonely bed
A spark rises and then it dies

Hear the city, hear it hum
Stay with me, my only one

Let’s make the most of our time
Let’s take what we can take
From the moments we’ve been given
From the errors we have made
For the end is surely coming
The sharp edge of the blade
Suspended over our heads
My baby don’t you be afraid

On the northern border
Lights dwindle and fade
The vast and empty answer
to the prayers that we have made

While underneath the distant stars
A million lives start and end
Please don’t ever wipe away
the lies on which we depend

Let the city, let it hum
