Half the City

Oh, this poor and lonely heart

It is made of pure steel

And you can't let it cry

At the poor end of the street

I populated half the city, child

But I still can't find no love

Somebody has to heal me

Oh, from up above

There ain't no way that I could stay

Every day, oh, every day

There it goes, her arms that hold me closely

So closely

No, I can't let it down

This hope I feel

Oh, the city's made me cry

But I still can't leave her

The streets are paved with pain

I've found my path to love

Please don't let it down

'Cause I've been hurt enough

There ain't no way that I could stay here

Every day, oh, every day

There it goes, her arms that hold me closely

So closely

I know that it's time

For this city of mine

To just crumble down

And let me hold it

Let me hold it

Let me, let me hold it

All you got to do, oh

I know, I know this shit is ready for me
