City Heat (Demian Bell and Neil Case)

Everyone is a world unto their own
Plan the future before they are born
And in this painful place I see, another
way for me to be free.

The people laughed at what he did say
They spread their rumours along the way
And in the end the hungry children lay
between the sheets of victory

You arrive in the city, but you leave insane
You arrive in the city, but you always got
to play that silent game.

The dice were thrown before they were grown
To be so hungry to be so worn, to wander so incredibly
Through this life and try to be free

The people laughed at what he did say
They spread their rumours along the way
The dead and hungry children lay
between the sheets of victory

You arrive in the city, but you leave insane
You arrive in the city, but you always got
to play that silent game.

You arrive, in the city, you might think it’s got all you need
But it’s a place, a place without pity, one where the pain
can go up your sleeve.

The people laughed at what he did say
They spread their victims along the way
And in the end the hungry children lay between the
sheets of misery

You arrive in the city, but you leave insane
You arrive in the city, but you always got
to play that silent game.
