Lyrics
Hot days in the city, cold hearts in bed
Hot spots of our cold war, burn round my head
Dry days and dog days, no blades of grass
There won't be no flowers growing
On the road to heartbreak pass
I woke you'd gone and the day dragged on and on
The months, so slow, but you never even showed
So now you're on your own it's just the way it's meant to be
I hope this afterlife is killing you
The way it's killing me.
Hard rain in the city, washed my dreams away.
Love pours down the gutters, hopes drain away
Sad eyes and red eyes and there's no way back
There won't be no trains running
On that old love city track
I woke you'd gone and the day dragged on and on
The months, so slow, but you never even showed
So now you're on your own it's just the way it's meant to be
I hope this afterlife is killing you
The way it's killing me.
