Well, they say that home is where the heart is But you left way back and started roaming For these streets that were so bright with promise Mothers love is what youve turned away from Now youre trapped Down in the City of Light youll go crazy Try as you might youll be lost in the maze of The City of Light, City of Light Blinds are drawn cross windows facing nowhere In the day the darkness is complete Close your eyes and try to cry away your nightmares You just know the downtown city street Where darkness reigns Down in the City of Light youll go crazy Try as you might, theres no end to your days in The City of Light, City of Light You know these streets so well Each drugstore, night club and bar Dont try to run from here Youre not allowed to get far Hookers prowl, the look, the pout The open invitation to liaisons swift and cold In rainswept streets the pimps are calculating Acts of haste, the clients lies theyve bought and sold Sell yours too Down in the City of Light things go hazy Try as you might, youll go blind in the blaze of The City of Light, City of Light Theres been sudden death, a knife down on the eastside You can stand so much, then instinct takes its head And though the people say that home is where the heart is They dont know that this damned citys heart is dead Theres no escape Down in the City of Light youll go crazy Try as you might, you can never be saved from The City of Light, City of Light You know these streets too well Each drugstore, night club and dive Theres no route out of here You only know one way to survive
