City Blues A city of virgins , a city of gold A city of lies where the truths never told A city of jokers, a city of doubt A city of loneliness where there is no crowd A city of harlots , a city of  fire A city of houses made out of cards A city of the mountains and the valley below A city of young , a city of old A city of the blind , a city of the lame A city for the beggar without a name A city for the outcast, a city for the fool A city by the sea , a city with no rules A city of the homeless , a city for the coward A city of death , a city of flowers A city of the heathen and the leaper too A city for me, a city for you A city of thistles , a city with a crown A city square , a city round A city of darkness , a city of light A city of peace , a city of fight A city for the seller , a city for the buyer A city of kings and the servant for hire A city of dirt , a city of graves A city of free  , a city of slaves A city of beat , a city of stone A city of word , a city of bone A city of silence , a city of sound A city of keys where the chained are unbound A city of laughter , a city of screams A city of truth , a city of dreams A city of stairs , a city of falls A city of blues , a city of walls A city of dogs, a city of soldiers A city of doctors , a city of murders A city of promise , a city of the insane A city of the alchemist , a city of pain A city of angels , a city of sin What kinda city you gonna live in ? - Rob McNurlin copyright Buffalo Skinner Music BMI
