City of gold, city of face City of love, city — no base City undone, city low play City street-drunk, city turns none away And we saw through our windows Every door where the men go She was low cut, she was dumb-faced A ribbon of lust wherever she lay See her undone, see her freeze-frame See her drunk li(m)p, see her tease play And we watch still as she goes downhill City hangs out where the beasts sway City's passed out in the hallway Before she fell down what did she say? "I haven't seen a bird in twenty-three of these days" To say we told her so was no thrill But we don't mind a quiet kill
