City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,

Verse:
You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain,
You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game,
And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame,
I've been too long travelling on your train.
ChorusAmaj7 Bm7/A
City lights don't shine, they glare

And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.

Verse:
Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away,
Back to the garden where the magic children play,
And to the country lady who knows more than I can say,
Whose night shines brighter than your day.
Chorus
City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.
A... (repeat to fade).
