Bacon Brothers The City Of Fear Lyrics

City Of Fear Lyrics

Written by kevin bacon, michael bacon

 

 You scared me when i met you

 The way you sparkled in the dark

 I drove around for hours

 But you never showed your heart

 You took me in your arms

 That smelled of oranges and sage

 You tempted me with glory

 Until i was your slave

 Then you took me to the party

 You said you loved to watch me dance

 But you took home the latest thing

 And there was no second chance

 

 Chorus

 Now your mountain's on fire your river's run dry

 I got a burning desire to kiss an angel good bye

 Climbing out of your smokescreen the weather looks clear

 Leave an angel below me in the city of fear

 

 You scare me when i see you

 Because i remember times we had

 How you shook me like a baby

 Who had swallowed something bad

 You scare me because i need you

 Like a roof over my head

 Like a baby needs new shoes

 Mama's milk and daddy's bread

 But you distrust my honesty

 And you distrust my car

 And you don't like the way i look

 When i'm playing my guitar

 

 Chorus

 

 Sometimes i'm your lover your white knight your shining star

 Sometimes i'm a dinosaur and i'm sinking in your tar

 

 Chorus
