Dark City
=========

Black clouds,fill the sky
of buildings lit from way up high
People sweep crowded streets
as ground dissolves beneath their feet


Is this the colour of the future
is this the colour that we wish for
Is this the future
Is this the future

Knives in shattered light
are what they use to fight
Grey suits,grey lives
walk amongst the city lights


Is this the colour of the future
is this the colour that we wish for
Is this the future
Is this the future


Busy trains & automobiles
move along as tyres squeal.


Stained glass lets neon shine
onto roofs of cathedral shrines
faces shine though dust
As people walk through dirt & rust


Black clouds,fill the sky
of buildings lit from way up high

Is this the future
Is this the future
Is this the future

Hi Brian
Thank you for sharing this track. Very foxxian lyrics. Really enjoyed listening to this.

Peter

Yes, I agree with Peter. Lyrics invoke Foxx, definitely.

Cheers for comments guys.

A bit Foxxy the lyrics might be but I'd also watched the Dark Knight,The Wire seasons 1-4 box sets & the film Dark City around the time I wrote them.

All of those as well Cathedral Oceans Durham are in there somewhere.

BTW is anyone gets the chance to watch The Wire,do it.Love it to bits.

Brian

Cant believe i missed this one. Tis much more Foxxy Brian.
