Language City Songtext / Lyric

Language City is a bad old place

We all know

Where eyeballs float in space

We all know



We're tired

We can't sleep

It's crowded here

None of us leave

Language City don't mean a thing to me



Audiences, the same program is always on

I didn't fail, it's best to avoid the law

When your wife wakes up and sees

Shut the blinds and block out the street

Language City don't mean a thing to me



All this working, just to tear it down (x2)



Language City is a bad old place

We all know

Eyeballs float in space

We all know






We're tired

We can't sleep

It's crowded here

None of us leave

Language City don't mean a thing to me



I been here so long my heart is a parking lot

Hollow feet, rooted to the spot

But the fields are beyond belief

From the tower out to where I can see

Language City don't mean a thing to me



All this working, just to tear it down (x2)



And on the telephone, on the telephone, on the telephone

Somebody's counting the hours



And in a paper room, in a paper room, in a paper room

Somebody's counting the hours



And now I know it's true, in a golden room, in a golden room

Somebody's counting the hours, the hours, the hours, the hours



Oh the long bitter road

Let us down

Oh the ringing telephone

There's no one around



We are not at home (x6)

We are not at home (x6)

Hang on the telephone (x4)
