Hell Was a City Lyrics

Found me out drunk and abandoned
All my horizons in flame
Crying tell all my friends to forget me
'Cause I'll never see them againOh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them againHow long do you think that you're going to lick
All of the boots that kick you?
You've had your face in the dirt for too long
Sweet revenge long overdueOh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them againI looked at the Manhattan skyline
The bitterest tears in my eyes
A big ball of slime in the cesspool of life
Under an open sore skyOh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me

And I'll never see them againIt took me all this time to realise
That Hell was a city on Earth
And Jesus died for me to despise
The pitiful waste of his birthI craved for the filth of the city
Gold pathway of dreams from my heart
But acid of misery ate up the gold
And sent me right back to the startOh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them again
