Arno Carstens - Bad City Lyrics

I built the city on a field of dreams
I awoke with my overdose
In a tube to a downtown bar
The walls spoke to me
I took a lunch for the rest of the day
You make a double 'cos I feel that way
And I just had it
The city was bad back then

Oh and the mayor with his golden lies
With his empire of flies he said it
The city was bad
They changed the name from the city of hell
To something that sounded like hotel
It didn't work
The city of golden linings

The city was bad back then

The city was bad back then

And how bizarre and how bizarre with his crooked guitar and the ex policemen called Coroner eyes
Singing sad tunes
I'm gonna fly through the open sky where red lights and a firefighter cries
To put a smile on an orphan's face
And I'm a waiting for my kingdom come
I'm gonna burn this hell down
Oh let it go
The city of silver linings

We're gonna fly through the open sky
Where love will reign upon our lives
And you know it is
In the city of silver linings

Well don't go back, don't go back
Just let it go and bring is all back to the new school
In the city of silver linings
Don't go back, don't go back
Just let it go and bring it all back my baby
We're in the city of silver linings

The city of golden linings

How bizarre and how bizarre
I'm singing sad tunes
I'm gonna fly through these open skies
Where love will reign upon our lies and we all
In the city of golden linings
Where love is just a stone throw

I am back but I won't go I lost love too
But I still stay
And I confess
Woah I confess
Some kind of
Some kind of alliance

Well don't go back, don't go back
Just let it go and bring it all back to the new school
In the city of golden linings
Don't go back, don't go back
Just let it go and bring it all back my baby
We're in the city of golden linings

To the city of golden linings
