The City by Cripple Mr Onion Lyrics

I didn't see the sun today
It's been seven days since we saw eye to eye
The winter selves we entertain
Will never leave
The meths tastes good today
I don't feel shame as the dignity fades
Embittered and dead to all I see

The elephant sky
And the public eye
Watch over me

Memories are all I have
I don't seem to have as many now
I usеd to see the sun
Or so I dreamed
Thе denizens surrounding I
They can see the sun but
They won't share
As one, by one they turn from me
The elephant sky
And the public eye
Watch over me
No beggar, no sycophant I
See an end to the rain

And the waiting begins again
With each day without sun
A little less hope
But I cannot help but take comfort
In seeing you curse the day
So what if I demoralise
Who are you to judge
Now I understand
You've no more self respect than me

Talking to no-one
As if there was someone
In front of me
It's better than being alone
With the city to blame
The elephant sky
And the public eye
Watch over me
No beggar, no sycophant I
See an end to the rain
