Listen To Your City

Another boy in this city
Who's eyes are closed but wide awake while he is sleeping
Another unconscious decision
Just wanders round and round and round 'til something hits him

The city speaks all through the night
All through the day, just listen tight
To the words it's softly speaking
Dance all alone in the moonlight
Away from streetlights, out of sight
Neighbours music, almost reaching

So open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen
And wise beyond it's years
You know it's never looked so pretty
Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it
When you close your eyes

The footsteps echo on the pavements
Beneath my feet, I watch each one replace the other
Avoiding cracks for entertainment
An empty street greets me, reflecting every colour

The city speaks all through the night
All through the day, just listen tight
To the words it's softly speaking
Dance all alone in the moonlight
Away from streetlights, out of sight
Neighbours music, almost reaching

So open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen
And wise beyond it's years
You know it's never looked so pretty
Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it
When you close your eyes

The morning sun's another friend of mine
Hello tomorrow
Three fifty one, just right on time
Lifting through the shadow
A simple picture, parts are gritty
But we stand beside her
And hear the whisper of your city
Speak a little louder

Open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen
And wise beyond it's years
You know it's never looked so pretty
Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing

So open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen
And wise beyond it's years
You know it's never looked so pretty
Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing

Open up your ears
Why don't you listen to your city
If it calls you through the window of your kitchen
And wise beyond it's years
You know it's never looked so pretty
Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing
When you close your eyes
Do you still see it
When you close your eyes
