Cities Songtext
von Celesterre

Human beings, rats and pigeons
Cockroaches, cats, dogs and mice
Concrete homes – their comfort zones
Everything within their reach

Massive blocks of concrete in the cities

Asphalting on the homes of millions
Cutting down all that stands in their way
Nests to the grounds – egg-breaking sounds
Never to burst into life

Massive blocks of concrete in the cities
Cities


Concrete, plastic, bitumen
Fiberglass, cement and steel
Carbon, chloride, solder smoke
In gasoline they sign a deal

Building and building like rats breeding in
a closed cage as their world closes in
Tension between the inhabitants builds up
As pollution increases with speed

Massive blocks of concrete in the cities

Skyscrapers, squares and factory halls
Offices, highways and malls
The overstrung idiot′s head wildly tolls
And in panic into insanity he falls

Massive blocks of concrete in the cities
Cities
