You know it came as no surprise
That on the morning that you died
Like when the train comes in the station yeah
And she was lying next to you
Well just as dead and just as blue
and the stars started turning
beyond the city of love lies the city of lust
and if you wanna go i'll take you past the barbed wire
beyond the city of love lies the city of lust
You know it came as no surprise
A message written in the sky
down through my body and cross the nation yeah
now the poplars are in bloom
and in the in the air the sent of doom
and the stars just kept on turning
beyond the city of love lies the city of lust
and if you wanna go i'll take you past the barbed wire
beyond the city of love lies the city of lust
You know it came as no surprise
