Cities may fall      The city in defeat,   With no one left to beat,   There's still a fading desire,   To burn a naked light,   Just to defy the night,   Come on and call me a liar.      A crumble tumble down,   In fumble bumble town,   Our lives a ruin,   We reconstruct a bit,   And pretty up a bit,   We hardly know what we're doing.      CHORUS:   But me and my baby,   Make the best of this world,   She's like a diamond,   Innocent girl.   We watch the sign of the times,   Writing on the wall-Cities may fall.      Back through the city fog,   I was another cog,   For the machinery there,   Now the machines have gone,   The silence hanging on,   I sit, I stare.      CHORUS Repeated      Come on and take your aim,   I feel the mildest pain,   Protecting something so rare,   'Cos there's a gem or two.   Inside the human zoo,   If only you are aware.      CHORUS Repeated.
