08 City Boy

angie fights crime

from the album “Flooded” vocals by Shaun Hamontree

you wanted it all
wanted too much
cause nothing was real
and you couldn’t feel anymore
the sky fell away
and black was the night
surrounded by gold
that you could see, anymore
oh poor cityboy with your toys
but no one wants to play with you
now it’s time to sleep, don’t weep
cause there’s no one to sing you a lullaby
anymore
you took such a fall
fell so low
before you could leap
the ground came up
and swallowed you whole
and all your gold
til nothing remained
but the endless pain
oh poor cityboy with your toys
but no one wants to play with you
now it’s time to sleep, don’t weep
cause there’s no one to sing you a lullaby
oh poor cityboy where’s the joy?
