[00:13.55]There's a city filth that lingers
[00:17.24]All over my naked hands
[00:20.61]Deep into weave of the clothes I wear
[00:26.22]
[00:27.78]And every step brings another
[00:30.53]
[00:31.84]Every hour adds some more
[00:34.77]Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door
[00:38.52]
[00:42.76]Are the taps running darling
[00:44.76]
[00:45.93]Is the air thick with steam
[00:48.19]
[00:49.00]Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame
[00:53.56]
[00:56.43]Every step brings another
[00:58.80]
[00:59.97]Every hour adds some more
[01:02.42]
[01:03.10]Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door
[01:06.66]
[01:10.15]There's a smell so sweet it's sickly
[01:13.02]
[01:13.90]It follows me into the room
[01:16.58]
[01:17.20]Hangs in the air like rotting perfume
[01:21.01]
[01:24.88]I never bathe in it darling
[01:27.94]Got down on my hands and knees
[01:30.56]
[01:31.43]Got in so far I became well a part of it all
[01:35.61]
[01:37.11]I've been wading through it
[01:39.35]
[01:40.10]Don't you know it's up to my neck
[01:42.79]
[01:44.10]And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
[01:49.40]
[01:51.21]And it's the thought of you in my mind keeps me
[01:56.02]
[02:06.56]Thought I knew these streets and how they turn
[02:10.11]Could always find my way home
[02:12.74]
[02:13.80]There's something there can't leave it alone
[02:16.86]
[02:20.91]The trains they run all night
[02:23.35]
[02:24.16]We could leave everything behind
[02:26.84]
[02:27.65]Just bring that dress you bought when we first met
[02:31.68]
[02:35.30]I know it's faded darling
[02:37.30]
[02:38.54]I know it's tattered and worn
[02:40.91]
[02:41.66]In that dress I could never love you more
[02:45.41]
[02:47.65]I've been wading through it
[02:49.90]
[02:50.77]Don't you know it's up to my neck
[02:53.59]
[02:54.77]And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
[03:00.02]
[03:01.90]And I can suck it into my love breathe it in
