There Is a Spell over This City

Ah Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah.

Ah Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah.

They made the sun rise once again

And put the wolves back in their cages

I've been asleep for many days

Not wide awake for ever

Seems like nothing can get through

This grey lid that they call heaven

Missing sunshine missing you

Feeling worn out bound and beaten

All the snow makes me believe

A sunny morning in December

It's always been the way for me

For just as long as I remember

And soon the city will awake

Send out an army of pretenders

I plead a dirty black machine

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.

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.

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 are 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 and 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 centre of the earth

I am too fast and I'm too lazy

I cannot breathe for all this dirt

But in the end you always save me

Ah Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah.

Ah Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah.
