city streets

i've been feeling this too long

when you leave it all goes wrong

the only thing i know it isn't right

busy streets have lost their rush

buildings towered turned to dust

like everything just disappeared in the night

it's when i walk these city streets

i realize the time that just went by

like an old friend i hardly know

now that i've been away for all this time

i was hoping this would pass

but once it's here

it's here to last

i wish it could just all remain the same

i'm a stranger when i'm home

'cause all alone is all i know

that's what happens when you go astray

it's when i walk these city streets

i realize the time that just went by

like an old friend i hardly know

now that i've been away for all this time

i know i've made my bed

sad thoughts are in my head

barely holding back the tears

but when i watch the living dead

wake up and break their bread

i know it's not for me

yeah-ee-yeah

it's when i walk these city streets

i realize the time that just went by

don't you know

like an old friend i hardly know

now that i've been away for all this time

oohhh oohhh oooohhh

ooooohhh oooohhh oooohhh

you're on your own

you have to hold onto what you feel's rightly yours

don't let anyone tell you it ain't worth the time
