It was in the city of shameThat I found I wasn't to blameI was looking for a weird thing or twoI discovered that it had to be youIt was in the city of fearThat I shouted 'Is there nobody here?'Though the echo had the name on a ringStill the echo wasn't called anythingLa, la, la, la, la, la, laIt was in the city of loveAll the flesh I ate was never enoughThough I knew it wasn't good for my soulMy body hungered for the ultimate goalIt was in the city of spiesThat I spoke with nothing but liesWhen they set a trap for all you could feelIt's important that your mind is concealedLa, la, la, la, la, la, laIt was in the city of shapesThat she made love to several apesShe felt weird for a couple of daysPretty soon she got used to their waysIt was in the city of foolsThat she sold her beautiful jewelsSomeone bought them and sold them againNow they've been bought by several menLa, la, la, la, la, la, la
