lyrics

intro
there is no reason
no place to call home
when you’re lost in the city
city you've been living

verse 1
what is the question
though there’s no answer
not even a meaning at all

chorus
this city where we reside
is not a place you can hide
it’s bright all through the night
by the rows of many street lights

this city where we reside
is not a place you can lay
to rest your weary head
when it’s hanging by a needle and thread

verse 2
this place does not sleep
it shelters so few
from the storm that is coming through
where do we go from here
as time wears on
to a better place hidden from this city

chorus
this city where we reside
is not a place you can hide
it’s bright all through the night
by the rows of many street lights

this city where we reside
is not a place you can lay
to rest your weary head
when it’s hanging by a needle and thread

verse 3
these streets are lined
with glass and such
from the people who are struggling so much
to get by
and ease their pain
its just something so few can explain

chorus
this city where we reside
is not a place you can hide
it’s bright all through the night
by the rows of many street lights

this city where we reside
is not a place you can lay
to rest your weary head
when it’s hanging by a needle and thread
a needle and thread
a needle and thread
a needle and thread
