I'll keep my faith alive Cause this is paradise for parasites I can't believe my eyes Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes The streets won't sleep tonight A lullaby for the half alive The city swings and whines To the double crime of drugs and hard times Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city's sirens sing the night away The city feels like a cage Feels like a powder keg That's almost set to explode (same chords the whole verse) Lion city's begun to rot It's a matter of time until the roaring stops The scene from the ground up From the painted walls to the rooftops Lion city's closed and locked While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks The haves and the have-nots Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city's sirens sing the night away There's an overdose on 8th And he does the cocaine shake Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away The city seems like it's trapped Between it's future and it's past Life or death of a city not coming back The city feels like a cage Feels like a powder keg And now it's gonna explode Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city's sirens sing the night away There's an overdose on 8th And he's wearing a blue face Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away Sing the night away Sing the night away And I won't be long
