Lyrics:
Jericho's strange, throbbing with life at its heart: People are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart... Foundations are shattered in the city Inside the barricaded doors ----- Hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls, Maybe the people are waiting for trumpets.... Babylon's strange, seventh wonder of the earth: Gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt And, with your head on fire, you can't really see. The hanging gardens sing, But with a hollow ring: The life is false, its killing me.... Don't look back, or you'll turn to stone; Look around before your life is overgrown with concrete slabs! On your back the searching eyes that stab Between chintz curtains, glinting, But never owning to a name ------- Like the inmates of asylums All the citizens are contagiously Insane.... Atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age: No-one really knows what to do, and the city is a cage. It traps in ashen hours and concrete towers, Imprisons in the social order: The city's lost its way, Madness takes hold today... I can't live under water
