| Empty city, it’s calling your name
|
| Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
|
| It’s a fatal attraction, that pulls you like a moth to the flame
|
| Empty city, sitting waiting in the hills
|
| Babylonian, promising all kinds of thrills
|
| Here they all know what they want
|
| And they chase it with a passion that kills
|
| Empty city, what’s easy come don’t let it go
|
| Count your money, every day it seems to grow
|
| Build a wall around your dream, get a gun, don’t let nobody close
|
| Are you happy with the life that you chose?
|
| She came in from the desert and the dust
|
| And now she’s trying to stay afloat on a crazy sea of lust
|
| It’s hard to love a city when that city has no heart
|
| It’ll rape your mind and sell your body
|
| It’ll tear your soul apart, tear it apart
|
| 'Cos when you scratch through the surface
|
| You won’t find a damn thing underneath
|
| And everybody’s moving on, that’s why I believe
|
| It’s an empty city, it’s an empty city
|
| Empty city, it’s calling your name
|
| Wheel of fortune, sucking you into the game
|
| It’s a fatal attraction that pulls you like a moth to the flame
|
| 'Til you’ve forgotten your name, where the streets are lined with pain
|
| But I can’t stay away
|
| It’s an empty city, empty city |
