The city in defeat,
  With no one left to beat,
  There's still a fading desire,
  To burn a naked light,
  Just to defy the night,
  Come on and call me a liar.
  
  A crumble tumble down,
  In fumble bumble town,
  Our lives a ruin,
  We reconstruct a bit,
  And pretty up a bit,
  We hardly know what we're doing.
  
  CHORUS:
  But me and my baby,
  Make the best of this world,
  She's like a diamond,
  Innocent girl.
  We watch the sign of the times,
  Writing on the wall - Cities may fall.
  
  Back through the city fog,
  I was another cog,
  For the machinery there,
  Now the machines have gone,
  The silence hanging on,
  I sit, I stare.
  
  CHORUS Repeated.
  
  Come on and take your aim,
  I feel the mildest pain,
  Protecting something so rare,
  'Cos there's a gem or two,
  Inside the human zoo,
  If only you are aware.
  
  CHORUS Repeated.
