In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers 'till the dawn

And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long


Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?

Who's gonna get up after we're gone?

In the city

Where I'm from
Lions in cages just for fun
But you will pace around your cage

And wait for night to come

In the city

Where I'm from
They shoot you down
If you run


But we don't stop to check the time
'Cause time keeps moving on and on and on


Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?

Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?
Who's gonna get up after we're gone?


I see you in another place
I expect a familiar face
The city joins us with hands of grace

Hands free there are no castrates
Just a normal that you see
The illusion of you and me

Illusions come illusions go
And if I leave you'll never know


In the city
Where I'm from
There are lovers to the dawn

And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn't wait that long


Who's gonna get up after we're gone?
Who's gonna get up after we've fallen?
Who's gonna pick up what we've done wrong?

Who's gonna get up after we're gone?

The city joins us with hands of grace

Hands free there are no castrates

Illusions come illusions go

And if I leave you'll never know
