about

it gets lonely living in the city.

lyrics

and it was Cold, very cold
in the town where the sun died.
and the folks all gathered round
singing tales of their past lives
but by midnight they'd gone home
to lay in bed, shivering
it seemed like no one had a wife, no one had a man,
just their lonely hands all over their old lonely bodies

and it was Cold, very cold
in the town where the sun died.
and since morning never came,
they all stayed in bed
no more talking to each other
no more learning how to love
it seemed like no one had a wife, no one had a man,
just their lonely hands all over their old lonely bodies

oh, the snow kept falling down
turning streets into hallways
only narrow little paths to guide us
to our next haunts
but slowly, those filled too
and no one left their doorstep
and good god i wanna know what all my neighbors look like
i want to study dimples and run fingers over smiles

but i can't - but i can't - but i can't

and it was Cold, very cold
in the town where the sun died.
and on good days i could hear
echoes of someone snoring
and then suddenly i know what it's like
to breathe again
i let out the deepest sigh and just feel my body empty
i let out the deepest sigh and just feel my body empty
