Once A City

Music by 10,000 maniacs - lyrics by mary ramsey & john lombardo



This was once a city

Harmony a common theme

But these complications

Now make life a bit uneasy

Hallowed buildings scrape the sky

Voices ride the airwaves

Once a city years gone by

Will they still be standing in thecenturies ahead

Going underground little children hiding,

Bullets never meant for them

Must there be such bloodshed in our hearts, our homes, ourheads?

Will i be walking, walking so free?

This was a city once

This was once a city

Harmony a common theme but these complications

Once a city, once a dream.
