lyrics

SOUTHERN BELL

This city never sleeps,
This city runs the clock with every God given hour
No time to stop and think,
No time for anything but tomorrow's dress and yesterday's news

Waiting for the dawn,
I see patterns forming, undercurrents running,
Screaming in my ears
The city smokes and roars,
This is what we struggled for?
And the weak at the wall get no answers, for now

And
I found a picture of you,
Hidden away in the pages at the back
of my mind.
And all the things you said, you promised me that would never come true,
Came with the morning, this morning

Cars slide past and blind into the winter heart as madness screams across this land,
Rising with the dawn, the voice of treason, singing, screaming through electric air,
And
I found a picture of you, hidden away in the pages at the back
of my mind

At the back of my mind.

Gulls fly to the canopy
It's old and grey
Like my face
Today
