The sins of the city
are drawing us in
Where do we start?
Is it really a sin?
I’m tempted to the valley
Where the trouble always stems
I wanna jump on your love boat
With you at the helm
We like the girls
We like the boys
Is it so bad
to play with our toys?
See the boy over there
with the ocean blue eyes?
I wanna dive in,
feel his surprise
Hot dripping skin
Clothes sticky and wet
I feel like I know him
But we haven’t yet met
See the girl over there
With the dark brown eyes?
Looks like she’s high,
Just living on life
The birds on the wire
are facing the sun
The party is over
Though it’s hardly begun
The piper is coming
To take me away
The party is over
Though I just wanna stay
The sins of the city
Are drawing us in
I’m tempted to the valley
Where the trouble begins
