City of Shadows

[Verse] Streets stained in cigarette smoke Blue skies hidden in the choke Sidewalks cracked hearts broke Got no love just a joke [Verse 2] Baguettes dry like four-day-old bread Romance is cheap too much said Perfume heavy numbs the head Dream of freedom find a bed [Chorus] Oh City of shadows wanna escape ya Lights and the lures can't captivate ya Wine tastes fine but they sure don't fade ya France ain't no dream it's a masquerade yeah [Verse 3] Eiffel tower reaching to abyss No true love in a place like this Cobblestone streets cold hard kiss Nice to visit but it's easy to miss [Verse 4] Croissants stale like the morning rain Café chairs empty feel the pain Art in the Louvre just drives insane Beauty fading it's all in vain [Chorus] Oh City of shadows wanna escape ya Lights and the lures can't captivate ya Wine tastes fine but they sure don't fade ya France ain't no dream it's a masquerade yeah
