There Is a Spell Over This City

They made the sun rise once again

And put the wolves back in their cages

I've been asleep for many days

And I've been wide awake forever

Seems like nothing can get through

This grey lid that they call heaven

Missing sunshine, missing you

Feeling worn, bound, and beaten

All this snow makes me believe

This sunny morning in December

It's always been that way for me

For just as long as I remember

And soon the city will awake

Send out an army of pretenders

A fleet of dirty black machines

A race that will go on forever

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

There is a black cloud coming down

You know that this place smells of pity

Too many vultures in this town

There is a spell over this city

Too much violence on the streets

Only bad news in the paper

Smiling snakes are wealthy thieves

Too many soldiers, too much hatred

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Now the wolves are out again

There's a shark close to these beaches

Dark and heavy falls the rain

And all the souls are mute and speechless

So many things I'll never see

And all the truths they never told me

What is left for me to believe?

When the world in you is burning?

There is a bird trapped in my chest

And my restless bones are aching

I am a one track speeding train

I am a mind ready to cave in

I am the center of the earth

I am too fast and I'm too lazy

I cannot breath for all this dirt

But in the end you will always save me

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
