Bartender Tom's The City

<I was born in this city, this city's my home

and she'll work you and bleed you right down to the bone

4 million faces, but I'm still so alone

I will die in this city, this city's my home>

I was born in this city a long time ago

Before the blood from the highways congealed in the roads

Man and his machinations killed the stars in the sky

and you're not really human till you wake up at night

<...>

I was young in this city, but now I am old

And I knew every alley that was known by the roads

Till I was strung by my heels and they shipped me out west

Now the rogues come in pinstripe and they're here to invest

<...>

There's a bnk in this city, it's dark and it's deep

Oh and lord only knows all the people she reaps

You see I thought I was floating but I finally keeled

Since the churches are empty and the playgrounds are sealed

<...>
