I spent the night in a sunken city   Drinking deep from the wells of self pity   Nobody knows cause my curtains are closed   If I'm ugly and old or I'm sweet and pretty   But the telephone only goes ring ring ring   When there's nobody home   I foated away on a wave of waste and decay   I could drag that lake for a lark and mistake   Some broken face for a body that ached   Just to skim the surface but to give me purpose   It's a gonna sink sink sink   I'm a bit of a waster but I'm come to embrace it   I love all those dirty places   Full of them empty faces   But you're an oasis untie my laces   It never ceases to amaze me   Just how far from pain you take me   I spent the night in a sunken city   Eating mud pies of self pity   A dirty lake is the sky as far as I can make out   But I don't know why I can't rise to the top of it   Will you make me
