I'll keep my faith alive
'Cause this is paradise for parasites
I can't believe this sight
Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes
The streets won't sleep tonight
A lullaby for the half-alive
The city swings and whines
To the double crime of drugs and hard time
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
The city feels like a cage, feels like a powder keg
That's almost set to explode
Lion city's begun to rot
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
Lion city's closed and locked
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th and he does the cocaine shake
'Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away
The city seems like it's trapped between its future and its past
Life or death of a city not coming back
The city feels like a cage, feels like a powder keg
And now it's gonna explode
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th and he's wearing a blue face
'Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away
Sing the night away
Sing the night away
And I won't be long
