they sang as they slew - death in the city lyrics

[verse 1]
hey you
the world sees right through where you tore at the seams
the pale beneath it gleams and gleams and
shines like light
when you hold it just right, but inside you see
an inscription reads like profanity

[chorus 1]
you give it away, you give it away
give it away, give it away
give it away, no, no, no
give it away, no, no, no

[verse 2]
ooh, gold
more precious than gold
you measured it, and then you felt you
fell through all the floors you left below
below it’s cold
but how could one who came to save you
ever leave you for or forsake you?
but now you

[chorus 2]
give it away, you give it away
give it away, give it away
give it away, no, no, no
give it away, no, no, no
want you, need you
love to lie to you
i don’t want you
when i need you
when i need you, i don’t

[verse 3]
i spooned my soul
it measured well
despite the words and songs of my youth
i never knew that one could be so unwhole
this world rots your bones
but there’s one who comes in kindness
won’t you pull off your blindness?
but now you

[chorus 3]
give it away, you give it away
give it away, give it away
give it away, no, no, no
give it away, no, no, no
want you, need you
love to lie to you
i don’t want you
when i need you
when i need you, i don’t need to
want you
need you
love to
i couldn’t lie to you, i wouldn’t lie to you

[bridge]
made a wish on a falling star
it was a satellite drifting on the night side
made a wish on a satellite
they put it there to watch over you
but don’t be fooled, it’s not forever
a satellite
what? no regrets, no secrets
whispers in the night

[instrumental outro]
