Nothing Pretty

from The Dark Road To Venus by The Sonic Jewels

/

lyrics

In the city
There ain’t nothing pretty
Just look over your shoulder
And see how this world’s getting older

Well I’m needing
A new chance to breathe in
The night spits its shadows
Lights come from windows like arrows

All the small men are dying
While the minister’s spying
Chaining your hands to these walls

In the city
Ours, no room for pity
We’re choking on distance
Everyone fights for existence
Now we’re sliding
The whole world is hiding
Like frightened lovers
Building a force from the others

Now the priest gives his blessing
In the hotel undressing
Kill them with trust in his name

In the morning when I wake up from my drinking
I see your face next to mine
And so I gaze out of the window as I’m thinking
I’ve just got to get right out of here
Just got to get right out of here
Just got to get right
Just got to get right
Just got to get right out of here

In the city
There ain’t nothing pretty
Look over your shoulder
And see how the world’s getting older

Well I’m needing
A new chance to breathe in
The night spits its shadows
Lights come from windows like arrows

All the small men are dying
While the minister’s spying
Chaining your hands to these walls

In the morning when I wake up from my drinking
I see your face next to mine
And I gaze out of the window as I’m thinking
I’ve just got to get right out of here
Just got to get right out of here
Just got to get right
Just got to get right
Just got to get right out of here
(O'Toole)
