Dark City by Some Stranger Lyrics
This scene is long overdue
In a haze of obelisks
Grey
Grey
Grey
And blue
So tell me
Has it been this overcast since the day I left?
Does time still pass? (Oh, I forget?)
I know I said
I was coming back
Like I never left
But best laid plans of mice and men
They go astray (I lost my home)
And push straight on (where do I go?)
They make it up
As they go
Now I’m overturning rocks and stones
For a glimpse of anything or anyone I know
But the storm, it quickens, and the streets run red
A place is just the people in it and all my friends are dead
(Are dead)
(Are dead)
I left
I left
My dark city again
So tell me
What the hell was it that seemed so bad?
Why all of this the ghosts should have
All our old haunts
Aren't what they were
They came and went
I don't think they'll be back again
Maybe it's just me (I think it is)
Who's in the wind (Oh no)
Who killed again ([?])
Now I’m overturning rocks and stones
For a glimpse of anything or anyone I know
But the storm it quickens and the streets run red
Oh, a place is just the people in it and all my friends are dead
(Are dead)
(Are dead)
I left
I left
My dark city again
(Are dead)
(Are dead)
I left
I left
My dark city again
I’m holed up north
And I try to kill with kindness, for what it's worth
Oh I suppose it's sort of still worth fighting
But I don’t know
Wade in the waters of youth
Pull the plug
Let it come unscrewed
(Wade in the waters of youth
Pull the plug
Let it come unscrewed)
I left
I left
My dark city again
I left
I left
My dark city again
I left
I left
My dark city again
In a haze of obelisks
Grey
Grey
Grey
And blue
So tell me
Has it been this overcast since the day I left?
Does time still pass? (Oh, I forget?)
I know I said
I was coming back
Like I never left
But best laid plans of mice and men
They go astray (I lost my home)
And push straight on (where do I go?)
They make it up
As they go
Now I’m overturning rocks and stones
For a glimpse of anything or anyone I know
But the storm, it quickens, and the streets run red
A place is just the people in it and all my friends are dead
(Are dead)
(Are dead)
I left
I left
My dark city again
So tell me
What the hell was it that seemed so bad?
Why all of this the ghosts should have
All our old haunts
Aren't what they were
They came and went
I don't think they'll be back again
Maybe it's just me (I think it is)
Who's in the wind (Oh no)

Now I’m overturning rocks and stones
For a glimpse of anything or anyone I know
But the storm it quickens and the streets run red
Oh, a place is just the people in it and all my friends are dead
(Are dead)
(Are dead)

I left
My dark city again
(Are dead)
(Are dead)
I left
I left
My dark city again

And I try to kill with kindness, for what it's worth
Oh I suppose it's sort of still worth fighting
But I don’t know
Wade in the waters of youth
Pull the plug
Let it come unscrewed
(Wade in the waters of youth
Pull the plug
Let it come unscrewed)
I left
I left
My dark city again
I left
I left
My dark city again
I left
I left
My dark city again
