The Dead City

Across the bridge at midnight
Past the burned-out cars
I check the view from the gutter
But I can't see the stars

Turn a shadowed corner
To where the desperate hide
They all come out to greet me
'Neath the neon light

'Cause I'm taking their dirty money
Living in a world that died
And the dead city's making love to me tonight
Alright
Yes, alright

It's my poison kingdom
You'd better show respect
'Cause I'm the man you come to
I'm the architect

It wasn't me that dropped the bomb
And all I took was mine
So don't you try to judge me
You don't have the right

'Cause I rose to the situation
Never thinking I'd survive
Now the dead city's making love to me tonight
Alright

I'm the big shot in this jungle
Walking on a razor line
But the dead city's making love to me tonight
Alright
Alright
Yeah

Oh yeah

So I'm taking their dirty money
It's a living in a world that died
'Cause the dead city's making love to me tonight
Alright

I'm the biggest shot in this jungle
Walking on a razor line
But the dead city's making love to me tonight
But the dead city's making love to me tonight
Alright
