There was a fire in the alley
All the rats would fled the scene
The bottleneck of human traffic
And their mobile phones
Could not preserve the memory
All of the photo's and the stories
Quicly buckled on ths e weight
The bureacratic indignation
And it's their ticket tape parade
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
I call upon the prosecution
Please identify your case
The star witness from the counsel
Quickly put them their place
He laid his plans out on the table
As all our promises were sold
To build a temple of consumption
Where stood a temple of the soul
He said
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
The city
The city
Imagine it there looking
Imagine it there
The city
The city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
oh so pretty
Oh you could hear
the shakes from miles
As they tore straight
through the glass
A ghostly quier ressurected
As they await some base guitars
They gig is set upon the carcass
With broken hearts
we watched it fall
The cornerstone of this fine city
A monument to urban stroll
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
This would be good for the city
Imagine it there looking
oh so pretty
