| Lyrics: | Jericho's strange, throbbing with life at its heart :
people are drawn together, simultaneously
torn apart...
Foundations are shattered in the city
inside the barricaded doors
hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls,
maybe the people are waiting for
trumpets....
Babylon's strange, seventh wonder of the earth :
gardens ablaze in
colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
and, with your head on fire, you can't really see.
The
hanging gardens sing,
but with a hollow ring :
the life is false, its killing
me....
Don't look back, or you'll turn to stone;
look around before your life is
overgrown
with concrete slabs!
On your back the searching eyes that stab
between
chintz curtains, glinting,
but never owning to a name --
like the inmates of
asylums
all the citizens are contagiously
insane....
Atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age :
no-one really knows what
to do, and the city
is a cage.
It traps in ashen hours and
concrete towers,
imprisons in the social order :
the city's lost its way,
madness
takes hold today...
I can't live under water |
