Lyrics The Delgados

The Delgados

The City Consumes Us

Streets like the rest of them

But I can't forget

Faces familiar and full of regret

I hated this place

And all who came from it

Far from the scenery

Far from the road

Far from the greenery

Lifted my load

We boarded the train

To come back again

I was convinced in my mind

I was not of this kind

Faced with finality

I choose calamity

See us

Watch how this city consumes us

Watch how this city destroys us

Prices I'm happy to pay

Walking on pathways

I walked with my friends

Hearing that some of them

Have met bitter ends

How can you conceive

Your friends will be grieving for you?

Running from memories

I'll only deny

Doesn't make remedies

They still survive

I hated this place

And I have come from it

I was convinced in my mind

I was not of this kind

Faced with reality

I choose frivolity

See us

Watch how this city consumes us

Watch how this city destroys us

Cost I am happy to pay

See it coming near

See you walking close to me

Fear inside my head

Fear is never far from me

Walk you in my side

Walk you in the day we met

We will disappear

We will reappear

We can disappear

We can reappear

See us

Watch how this city consumes us

Watch how this city destroys us

Prices I'm happy to pay
