london eats my money and she hands me back the bones
ive been swallowed in her madness and dozing on my throne
ive been riding round on buses just to feel im not alone
in the twilight of the city hide the friends i once had known
god can take my body and refurbish it for show
when he wraps me up in soil and the flowers start to grow
all my hopes and aspirations, all the love ive ever known
fade away into the everything, the limitless unknown
lord knows how i love you, how i want to tell you so
but ive nothing here to offer, i have only half my soul
for i used it as collateral for a bartender's loan
traded love over for emptiness, memoryless smoke
london kills me slowly and she hollows out my hope
she's the poison that i'm weeping, the blood upon the snow
she's the stranger in the darkness pressing kisses to my throat
she's the child that i've been grieving for, and carry where i go
