Lyrics
THE CITY ON THE SHORE
Chris Fry - Vocal
1. He never knew what hit him as she joined him in the dance
She was in and out so quickly, he never had a chance
The disco ball stopped spinning at eleven fifty-four
The lights went down, without a sound
in the City on the Shore
2. The heart was partly broken, but the head was still in tact
The body just a passenger, the train was on the track
He called a girl named Indigo, he knew some years before
They settled down, without a sound
in the City on the Shore
They say the lights are brighter as you're coming in from sea
especially if you've been out there since 1983
Again, the truth eludes you as you hear the breakers roar the fog rolls in likea veil of sin
on the City on the Shore
3. He never knew what hit him, it happened all too fast
He realized his life flew by, now just memories of the past
His Casio stopped ticking at eleven fifty-four
The lights went out, now it's all about
the City on the Shore
CHORUS
