[Verse 1]

Water was running, children were running

You were running out of time

Under the mountain, a golden fountain

Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?

[Chorus]

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust

But ohh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

[Verse 2]

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

[Chorus]

But ohh, oh your city lies in dust

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

My friend

[Verse 3]

Water was running, children were running

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Water was running, children werе running

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Hot and burning in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth

Molten bodiеs, blanket of cinders

Caught in the throes, and ohh

[Chorus]

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust

And ohh, oh your city lies in dust

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust

My friend

My friend

My friend

My friend

[Outro]

Your city lies in dust

Your city lies in dust

Your city, your city

This city lies in dust

Your city, this city

My city lies in dust

Lies in dust

It lies in dust

I love you Siouxsie
