City We Call Love

Drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love And there are birds in the city In the city there are birds And I followed them deep Until I could not hear their words So Drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love I ride alongside the ghost of the TV light As the twilight dawn begins to turn the streets to gold Chasing winds to their deaths And walls become perfect Painted pictures drawn as if just for my soul We are one step from tomorrow We are the figures of Pompeii We are them, they are we Before the volcanic rain So Drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love Only you can sink this city This city we call love Not the volcanic ash Or the acid rains that could, yeah Drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love Yeah, drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love Yeah, drink up from my tongue And strip my body of these rags Tonight we plant the flag in the city that we call love, yeah
