Sound of the City - The Escape Club

Down from this high room

Down to the town

Where so many wasted days are lost

To the cutting wind

Oh, crawl like a baby

Down on my knees

And kissing the hand

That lives and feeds on suffering

And into the future

As the hours turn from days to years

I remember them

I won’t be sold again

And I try and I try

But I always rely on the things that I’m told

And I said what I said

Now my only regret is the fear I hold

Yeah, and we’re running now

(Yeah, yeah)

Oh, yeah, we’re running now

To the sound of the city

And I look at their faces

So many faces

Grey as their souls are grey

As grey as the towns they build

Ah where order alone is sacrosanct

Number all your citizens

As the cities fill

And they’ll live for a future

Where nothing ever changes

Nothing is left to kill

Oh, God, I think they will

And I try and I try

But I always rely on the things that I’m told

And I said what I said

Now my only regret is the fear I hold

Yeah, and we’re running now

(Yeah, yeah)

Ooh, yeah, we’re running now

To the sound of the city

Yeah…

We’re running now

And I try and I try

But I always rely on the things that I’m told

And I said what I said

Now my only regret is the fear I hold

Yeah, and we’re running now

(Yeah, yeah)

Oh, yeah, we’re running now

(Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, we’re running now

(Yeah, yeah)

Ooh, yeah, we’re running now

To the sound of the city
