the city's an ocean of darkness
we are drowning in its black
so dive into its glittering lights
and don't surface, don't ever look back
for the city is here to swallow you
with its living streets and hollow eyes
and its winding hills and sandy skies
these streets where stars will lay their fame
beside the hungry without a name
the city is burning, the city is vast,
the city is the only thing that will last.
