City Like This - Marlon Roudette

A city like this

Won’t understand

Won’t get to know you

Won’t hold your hand

Where comfort’s a subway car

Voices are drowned

And warmth is a feeling

From steam underground

In a city like this

Where dreams are for real

And laid out before you

In concrete and steel

You talk to yourself

To make it alright

You do what you can

To get through the night

How could you know

Your life was leading

To a moment like this

How could you stop

Your heart from breaking

In a city like this

In a city like this

Losing my faith, losing my mind

Trying to keep up one street at a time

There’s no way you’ll ever find me here…

In a city like this

A city like this

Like any place I know

Can change in a minute

We pay as we go

We’re measuring progress in profit and wealth

You thought you could own a piece for yourself

How could you know

Your life was leading

To a moment like this

How could you stop

Your heart from breaking

In a city like this

In a city like this

Losing my faith, losing my mind

Trying to keep up one street at a time

There’s no way you’ll ever find me here…

In a city like this

In a city like this

How could you know

Your life was leading

To a moment like this

How could you stop

Your heart from breaking

In a city like this

In a city like this

Losing my faith, losing my mind

Trying to keep up one street at a time

There’s no way you’ll ever find me here…
