KATIE PAQUIN Shameful World CD

6. Sleepless City
 
Start your engine let me feel the steam.
 And I’m running to my answering machine
 every time you call.
 But I’m not here at all.
 On the 4th floor in an apartment bed
 waking in the city but it’s already dead,
 by the time you call.
 But I’m not there at all
 Dreaming while I'm sleeping watching cars roll by.
 Headlights on the highway streaking over the sky.
 And oh its been so long
 since the radio played this song.
 Waking up seeing that you're on my mind.
 Don't know where you came from and I don't know how to find,
 where have you run to.
 And what am I going to do.

 [Chorus]

 And if you are ready now,
 beauty will bring you down.
 And we will watch everyone as they loose themselves.
 If this is heaven...
 Then it might as well be hell.
 Start your engine let me feel the steam.
 And I’m running to my answering machine
 every time you call.
 But I’m not here at all.
 On the 4th floor in an apartment bed
 waking in the city but it’s already dead,
 by the time you call.
 But I’m not there at all.
 Stop your engine open up your door.
 Drop your bags you can't leave anymore.
 Finally I can smile
 it sure has been a while.
 Love notes left behind you getting soaked by the rain
 written as a novel confessing each pain.
 Don't know what to do.
 Finally I found you.
 Finally I found you.
 
[Chorus]

 This city will sleep tonight
 Under the city lights.
 And what’s left when morning comes
 We’ll want for ourselves
 If this is heaven...
 then it might as well be hell
 might as well be hell.
