City of the Dead

from Requiem by Dick Turner

lyrics

City of the Dead

Everybody’s living in the
City of the dead
Though they always start out for
Somewhere else instead

They come home tired one night
Lay down in their bed
Next day wake up yawning in the
City of the dead

It takes some getting used to
In the city of the dead
Just doing what gets done
Just saying what gets said

Suddenly an idea
Comes slowly to their head
That nothing really matters in the
City of the dead

City of the dead
City of the dead
Everybody’s living
In the city of the dead

City of the dead
City of the dead
But does it really matter
In the city of the dead?

Then everything is OK in the
City of the dead
They drink their bitter coffee
And eat their crust of bead

And say that’s love’s a dream
Like that life they’d led
Before they started living in the

City of the dead
City of the dead
Now they’re living
In the city of the dead

City of the dead
City of the dead
But nothing really matters
In the city of the dead
