Water was running, children were running You were running out of time Under the mountain, a golden fountain Were you praying at the Lares' shrine? Ohh, oh your city lies in dust But ohh, oh your city lies in dust My friend We found you hiding, we found you lying Choking on the dirt and sand Your former glories and all the stories Dragged and washed with eager hands But ohh, oh your city lies in dust Ohh, oh your city lies in dust My friend My friend Water was running, children were running We found you hiding, we found you lying Water was running, children were running We found you hiding, we found you lying Hot and burning in your nostrils Pouring down your gaping mouth Molten bodies, blanket of cinders Caught in the throes, and ohh Ohh, oh your city lies in dust And ohh, oh your city lies in dust Ohh, oh your city lies in dust Ohh, oh your city lies in dust My friend My friend My friend My friend Your city lies in dust Your city lies in dust Your city, your city This city lies in dust Your city, this city Our city lies in dust Lies in dust It lies in dust I love you Siouxsie
