Water was running, children were runningYou were running out of timeUnder the mountain, a golden fountainWere you praying at the Lares' shrine?Ohh, oh your city lies in dustOhh, oh your city lies in dustMy friendWe found you hiding, we found you lyingChoking on the dirt and sandYour former glories and all the storiesDragged and washed with eager handsBut ohh, oh your city lies in dustOhh, oh your city lies in dustMy friendMy friendWater was running, children were runningWe found you hiding, we found you lyingWater was running, children were runningWe found you hiding, we found you lyingHot and burning in your nostrilsPouring down your gaping mouthMolten bodies, blanket of cindersCaught in the throes, and ohhOhh, oh your city lies in dustAnd ohh, oh your city lies in dustOhh, oh your city lies in dustOhh, oh your city lies in dustMy friendMy friendMy friendMy friendYour city lies in dustYour city lies in dustYour city, your cityThis city lies in dustYour city, this cityMy city lies in dustLies in dustLies in dust"I love you Siouxsie"
