V.D. City - Jay Farrar/Will Johnson/Anders Parker/Yim Yames[00:00:00]
You've seen your bright visions of glory[00:00:05]
Where love built your city on high[00:00:10]
I have just seen your cold lower dungeons[00:00:13]
Where the victims of syph roll and cry[00:00:17]
They are called to this city of sorrow[00:00:21]
To confess all the wrong things they've done[00:00:25]
Their teardrops and weeping runs louder[00:00:29]
Than my city blown down by the bombs[00:00:33]
There's a street named for every disease here[00:00:53]
Syph Alley and Clap Avenue[00:00:57]
The whores and their pimps and their victims[00:01:01]
Crawl past on the curbs in my view[00:01:05]
Once young and once healthy and happy[00:01:09]
Now a whirlpool of raving insane[00:01:12]
Lost here in this wild V.D. City[00:01:16]
Where nobody knows you by name[00:01:20]
Your eye is too tested to see here[00:01:40]
Worse than lepers your skin runs with sores[00:01:44]
Every window stands full of lost faces[00:01:48]
Human wrecks pile the steps and the doors[00:01:52]
Must you pay your way to this city[00:01:56]
With an hour of passion's desire[00:02:00]
I pray that I'll not see your face here[00:02:03]
Where the millions now burn in the fires[00:02:07]
