Lyrics

V1
OUR CITIES WANT THEIR PEOPLE BACK
HEARTS AND SOULS UNDER ATTACK
HOW LONG IT LASTS NO-ONE CAN TELL
THE CITY IS AN EMPTY SHELL

Chorus
THOSE AREN’T RAIN DROPS ON THE WINDOWS
NOT A CLOUD UP IN THE SKY
THOSE ARE TEAR DROPS ON THE INSIDE
NO ONE WANTS TO SAY GOODBYE
IN THE SILENCE OF THE CITY
THE SAD SOUND OF WINDOWS WEEPING

V2
AVENUES ONCE BLURRED BY SPEED
BLOW LITTER LIKE IT’S TUMBLE WEED
VACANT SIDEWALKS, EMPTY STORES
MANNEQUINS LYING ON THE FLOORS

Chorus
V3
CHAIRS STACKED ON RESTAURANT TABLES
CARRIAGE HORSES IN THEIR STABLES
THEATER GOERS HAVE UP AND GONE
EMPTY CHAIRS AT THE HAIR SALON
Chorus
