A City With No Name Songtext
von Derek Webb

Everything was beautiful
Everything was right
But you could not discern the source
Of this pure delight
Where all your wildest dreams are tame
All your fiction true
But you have less control of it
Than it has of you
It′s a place you cannot live
In a city with no name
You can have what you bring in
But it always ends the same
Everyone was beautiful
All the lights were bright
The one you wanted most of all
Was yours without a fight


The movement was so effortless
The poetry inspired
But she was yours without a word
It's you that she desired
It′s a place you cannot live
In a city with no name
You can have what you bring in
But it always ends the same
Everything soon disappeared
One thing left to do
The consummation of a dream
Finally coming true
Her mouth, the only thing that's real
The reason you're alive
Your body paralyzed with fear
A kiss before you die
