lyrics

The wild beasts live near a city
with no lights and no buildings and no more limousines
and all the men living in that dead town
wore their hearts hearts hearts on their sleeves.

If there are planets that don't have a name
and clouds showering stones onto the river bank
then those beasts will tear the shirts off our backs
and our hearts will dry up under the beating sun
I wrote a poem about a modern stage-play
wrote in 1998 and shown in montreal
on a train to go and meet you in the city
you said i never knew buildings could grow so tall
oh, this town is gunna burn up like the rest of em'
and i never loved a fire more than this one here
and those beast will fall asleep on the shore
and our hearts will shine out like an old flame
