Verse 1
On a walk through the desert I met up with a gypsy
Read my palms and turned away,
On her back was a tattoo of a man by the city
And this is what he say,
Go home little boy youre too damn witty for the city,
its a dangerous place,
Said youll sing and youll dance, and youll serenade
all the ladies with a single glance,
But I said.........
Chorus
Ive been there before and I aint seen nobody with a scary mask,
We danced on the back of the camels hump, girls a-wearin the gypsy mask,
We danced all night and danced all day, till our feet no longer could last,
Vowed we alld be back one day, dance in the moonlight of our past.
Intro
Verse 2
Foot by foot, and mile by mile, got closer to the city gates,
Saw a boy, sat wrapped in shrouds, and this is what he say,
Go home big brother, before its too late, or you'll have to pay,
the city only brings trouble and despair, in a sneaky and deceptive way,
Intro
Verse 3
I walked through the gates of a beautiful city, saw a man with a mask,
One eyepatch and a crooked leg, and this is what he asked,
I can see you're on a journey, and youve got a lot of money,
My knife says youll give it away,
Well here I sit alone in the city,
and this....... is what I say.....
Chorus 2
Here I stand, alone in the city, everyone wearing scary masks,
I look to my right, look to my left, all I see broken glass,
Walked all day, walked all night, till my feet no longer could last,
Vowed Id never be back no more, to the city of broken glass.
