this city

clouds move faster above this city
and winds blow harsher inside this city
and shadows grow darker inside this city
and dreams draw closer towards this city
and history barks louder below this city
and pleasure, adventure, distraction ring
far across the borders of this city
attracting longing, bored, desperate and empty souls
the city´s a queen, the city´s a thief
the city´s the city
and you stop and stare in disbelief
when you catch your own reflection
right in the eye of this spellbinding city
and you realize that you´ve become a part of her face
got stuck like a moth in the glow and heat of her gaze
