City Of Shame Lyrics - Singles - Hitchcock Robyn

It was in the city of shame 

That I found I wasn't to blame 

I was looking for a weird thing or two 

I discovered that it had to be you 

It was in the city of fear 

That I shouted 'Is there nobody here?' 

Though the echo had the name on a ring 

Still the echo wasn't called anything 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la 

It was in the city of love 

All the flesh I ate was never enough 

Though I knew it wasn't good for my soul 

My body hungered for the ultimate goal 

It was in the city of spies 

That I spoke with nothing but lies 

When they set a trap for all you could feel 

It's important that your mind is concealed 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la 

It was in the city of shapes 

That she made love to several apes 

She felt weird for a couple of days 

Pretty soon she got used to their ways 

It was in the city of fools 

That she sold her beautiful jewels 

Someone bought them and sold them again 

Now they've been bought by several men 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
