Welcome lip into the stray dog's home
Where they couldn't even teach us to sit
Demin-clad the drudge-man growls
Weigh the time you'd save with that razor on his hip
Still to come the steward's enquiry
As bouquet bedside mother grips his hand
My city was built on the cold ground
It's a hard night's sleep, believe me

To offset all my cruelty
I went dancing with the trees
All the time I was crying for you
In truth I was crying for me
I've studied all your strange laws
And I've tried to slip between
All the time I was crying for you
In truth I was crying for me

Blue theatre in the stray dog's home
Sway lovers pray lovers' twist
Withdrew hard like a swan in reversal
Essays in gravel engraved upon our skin
A tattoo of sorts to act as reminders
We were ballet babies casting silhouettes
My city was built on the cold ground
It's a hard night's sleep, believe me

To offset all my cruelty
I went dancing with the trees
All the time I was crying for you
In truth I was crying for me
I've studied all your strange laws
And I don't know what they mean
All the time I was crying for you
In truth I was crying for me

My city was built on the coldest ground
It's a long hard life, believe me
