don't shout! i don't want to fight about it
i've got nothing to gain
i don't care who's wrong or right about it
who wants to go through that again?
but you're so far out of my sight now
i've just got one thing on my brain
i can't seem to sleep at night
i don't know, i just can't explain
about the City of Pain
take me to your heart of light
won't you break me from these chains
out of the shadows and thew darkness of night
see the sun shining on summer rain
i was so frightened
i thought it might all be in vain
i just want to do right
i don't want to see my life
going down the drain
down to City of Pain
it's like war, no rules and laws
nothing ever gained by praying
but i know i've got to make it to your door
while there's still blood
flowing in my veins
while i've still got another breath to draw
i want more
i can't make it any plainer
like a drowning man who finally sees the shore
then it disappears again
sinking down to the City of Pain
i've been praying in vain
but the pain remains
can't seem to break these chains
what a pity! such a shame!
with the blind and lame
in the City of Pain
i don't know why i ever came
well, no more! what else is left in store?
can't you be a bit humane?
i doubt if i can take another night on your floor
watching the candle's flickering flame
while you're sharpening your claws
and saying "i'm bored!" again and again
we made it through the night alright
but we got lost in the morning rain
and it's hurting again!
in the City of Pain
such a pity! what a shame!
about the City of Pain
little kitten, what's your name?
pretty, pretty! the City of Pain
oh so pretty, oh so vain
in the City of Pain
