My love asks me why
I feel in such a state?
I walk the line,
But am always left to wait,
Watching the lives of others,
Playing catch up with my brothers,
My love says, I’m strange and always complain,
Somehow I must change

Forgiveness is a Dirty City,
With no-one to blame, Got no-one to blame,
It will take everything that you own and give it all to someone else,

Six years on, still feel the weight inside,
Of feeling worthless, rises up to sting my pride,
But how do we grow, and start to clean these crumbling roads
My love says, ‘these things that we’ve done,
Can somehow be overcome,

Forgiveness is a Dirty City,
With no-one to blame,
It will take everything you’ve got and give it all to someone else,
Only in this City

Don’t want to preach to the choir,
Just want to sing the blues tonight

Forgiveness is a Dirty City,
With no-one to blame, Got no-one to blame,
It will take everything that you own and give it all to someone else,
Only in this City

At times its agony,
The lions out of the cage, chasing after me,
At times its agony,
Reaching out of the fear, to what we cannot see,
It’s a dirty city, it’s a dirty city.
