[Verse 1]

This is necropolis

A cesspool of syphilis

You're in a ghost town in despair

You see shapes but no one's there

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Baby, even though you just want to live

Maybe you do have a lot to give

Mind you that we are all the same

[Chorus]

'Tis the city of the living dead

So get your dreams of living out of your head

This is the city of the living dead

[Verse 2]

Made your escape from a village blind

Just couldn't breathe with a narrow mind

You're in a ghost town in despair

You see shapes but no one's there

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Honey, in the midst of your sanctuary

Funny little stink of a mortuary

Mind you that we are all to blame

[Chorus]

'Tis the city of the living dead

So get your dreams of living out of your head

This is the city of the living dead

[Chorus]

'Tis the city of the living dead

So get your dreams of living out of your head

This is the city of the living dead
