Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into
the game
It's a fatal attraction, that pulls you
like a moth to the flame
Empty city, sitting waiting in the hills
Babylonian, promising all kinds of
thrills
Here they all know what they want
And they chase it with a passion that
kills
Empty city, what's easy come don't
let it go
Count your money, every day it
seems to grow
Build a wall around your dream, get
a gun, don't let nobody close
Are you happy with the life that you
chose?
She came in from the desert and the
dust
And now she's trying to stay afloat
on a crazy sea of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city
has no heart
It'll rape your mind and sell your
body
It'll tear your soul apart, tear it apart
'Cos when you scratch through the
surface
You won't find a damn thing
underneath
And everybody's moving on, that's
why I believe
It's an empty city, it's an empty city
(Solo)
Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into
the game
It's a fatal attraction that pulls you
like a moth to the flame
'Til you've forgotten your name,
where the streets are lined with pain
But I can't stay away
It's an empty city, empty city
