You spill a tear and then you cry for longer

Is it the kind of place you'd die for?

How does it feel to be lied to?

But then again what's a girl to do, you got me—

You shed a tear and then you cry for longer

Is it the kind of place you'd cry for?

How does it feel to be lied to?

But then again what's a girl to do, when you got me

Spinning all over

In the city of sorrow

You spill a tear and then you cry for longer

Is it the kind of place you'd die for?

How does it feel to be lied to?

But then again what's a girl to do, you got me

Spinning all over me

In a city where we should be free
