lyrics

CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS (m.krauss)

Can’t believe its thirty years.
Scoop the dice & cast your fears.
I read the news, oh boy, and I weep, I weep.
I was sixteen when they said: “A gunman shoots John Lennon dead”
.
Being me, I can’t be you.
What’s a sycophant to do?
Bake some bread & kiss the kid.
I sent my daughter on a trip… by the Apple she was bit.

I wonder what you’d make of now?
Watch the world and have a cow!
You’d say:
“I’ve been where you’re walking, son”. Oh-oh.

Lights go down and darkness creeps
through the City That Never Sleeps.

Can’t “imagine” anymore! Can’t “imagine” anymore.

Squeeze my soul out of my mind.
Add a syncopated.......... rhyme.
Is that how you won the war?

It was thirty years today that my Johnny got took away.
Music spills out in the streets, in the City That Never Sleeps.
