CITIES MAY FALL
(Terry Britten)

The city in defeat
With no one left to beat
There’s still a fading desire
To burn a naked light
Just to defy the night
Come on and call me a liar

A crumble tumble down
In fumble bumble town
Our lives a ruin
We reconstruct a bit
And pretty up a bit
We hardly know what we’re doing

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She’s like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall, cities may fall

Back through the city fog
I was another cog
For the machinery there
Now the machines have gone
The silence hanging on, I sit, I stare

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She’s like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall, cities may fall, writing on the wall

Come on and take your aim
I feel the mildest pain
Protecting something so rare
‘Cos there’s a gem or two
Inside the human zoo
If only you are aware

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She’s like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall, cities may fall

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She’s like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall, cities may fall
Writing on the wall, cities may fall, writing on the wall
Writing on the wall, cities may fall
