[Lyric] City of the Dead Live (The Clash)

[Verse 1]
Ooh
This is the city of the dead
As we lie side by side in bed (Ooh)
I'd do somethin' else instead
But it is the city of the dead (ooh)
When we went out kickin' around
You got drunk and fallen down
And I wished I could be like you
With the Soho river drinkin' me down

[Verse 2]
In the city of the dead
Fall in love and fall in bed
It wasn't anything you said
Except I know we both lie dead
"Don't ya' know where to cop?"
That's what New York Johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like I know mine
[Verse 3]
While all the windows stare ahead
And the streets are filled with dread (ooh)
Every nation in the world
Slinks through the alley after girls (ooh)
What we wear is dangerous gear
It'll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we don't care
At least it livens up the air

[Verse 4]
But somedays we hide inside
All courage gone and paralyzed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression
I said today the jerks have got aggression

[Outro]
Is this the city of the dead?
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
