Track 4 of album 10 « Red Sun »
Everything seems calm
But I don’t buy it
‘cos I feel
There is something in the air tonight
Like a heaviness of loss
Eating bit by bit
Waiting for
Any helpless dog to bite
THE CITY IS ALL QUIET
BUT THERE’S LIGHTNING IN MY MIND
‘COS OF ALL THE SHITSTORM
THAT I MIGHT FIND
LIKE MY LIFE
COULD GO DOWN THE DRAIN
AND I’LL END UP
ALL SOAKED UP IN THE RAIN
I don’t intend
To be that dog now
When the bloody game’s
About to start
I’m not also
Eager to find out how
Death will occur
‘cos I Am much to smart
THE CITY IS ALL QUIET…
I have played
Those kind of games before
And I’m not about to start again
Don’t mind me
I’ll just walk out that door
And be out of reach
Before you count to ten
THE CITY IS ALL QUIET…
