My Citys Gone - Francis and the Lights

They boarded up my favorite bar

The Frenchman lost his restaurant

And the secret alleys were rearranged

I woke one day and it had changed

My city’s gone

My city’s gone

I lost another one

On forty-three, my heart once beat

On forty-five, I came alive

And there was a spirit, so young and free

It spoke to you, it spoke to me

My city’s gone (my city, oh oh)

Oh no, my city’s gone (my city’s gone)

I lost another one

I met a man who coughed and swore

That it had been changing since it was born

That it was I and nothing more

From twenty-three to thirty-four

My city’s gone

My city’s gone

And I have to go

My city’s gone

I still found me back in the mall

I will not decline

Still feeling lost and nothing more

I feel lost in time

Does anybody happen to know (happen to know)

Way after I’m

Still feeling lost and manageable

I say nothing’s right

Tell it all from the heart

I’m sitting out at the bar

Tell it all that I’m making my way
