City of Cheer

Have you ever been to the city of cheer
Where everyone’s almost the same
Where they dance and sing about the beautiful thing
Lovers are made of clay

In the city of cheer
No one can cry
Mandatory celebration
You’re invited
No one can leave or hide
Unless it’s in a smile

I’m a country man now
The city gets old
Here there’s lovers
You can feel even if they’re burning cold

Leave it all at the door
Made out of cornerstone
Under the guise of beauty
The primrose hides it’s thorns

Have you made it into the city of cheer
Where everyone’s free and cheap
Where the dance and sing of beautiful thirst
Of love that just won’t key

I’m a country man now
The city gets old
Here there’s lovers
You can feel even if they’re burning cold

Beauty in the city ain’t beauty in real life
Just cause it looks real doesn’t mean it is
That shiny apple they gave to Eve
Was probably seedless

Have you ever been to the city of cheer
Where everyone is cheery and gay
Where they dance and sing of beautiful things
That just get thrown away
