City of dreams More wicked than it seems You lead me down the alley Where no one can hear my screams You ride on the bus Bumping into us You're reaching in our pockets And you're bleeding in our cuts City of dreams You don't know what it means To only dream about it I know Tonight I'm on the street with no money in my coat
And I'm blamin' everybody for this ticket I got wrote And I'll walk along the end ‘Till I wander home again Out beneath the rumble I go stumblin' down the Northside wind City of dreams You don't know what it means To only dream about it I know
