Deer Tick - White City lyrics
[Deer Tick - White City lyrics]
Here a tower shining bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble in the hole
Here, the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago
Oh, the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car park's goin' up
And they're pullin' down the pubs
And it's just another bloody rainy day
Oh, sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis, you just disappeared from view
Now the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once
Raced out from trap two
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble in the hole
Here, the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago
Oh, the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car park's goin' up
And they're pullin' down the pubs
And it's just another bloody rainy day
Oh, sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis, you just disappeared from view
Now the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once
Raced out from trap two
