Dark Cities

Lost souls on the motorways
Sticks and stones and broken homes
In dark cities by the wayside
Cryin' out for something more than you can give them

Empty words dissolved in time
Scattered across the landscape of
Dark cities under the power lines
Choking in the mess they've now become (I'm sure you live in one)

But There's magic in the atmosphere
And There's magic in the atmos here
And Beauty all around this town
You cannot drag it down

Children lost to infinities
Martyred kings of industry
In all the desperate, dark cities
With their down-trodden societies, so upset and angry with the town that they call home

But There's magic in the atmosphere
And There's magic in the atmos here
And Beauty all around this town
You cannot drag it down
No, you'll never drag it down
There's beauty in this town
I know, I've been around
