[Verse 1]
Gone forever, the writing on the wall
They've boarded-up the cinema
Strawberry dreams and the dust-filled beams
Shut down in a modern town
[Chorus]
See you walking, see you talking
[Verse 2]
Recollection on streets you used to know
Forgotten pleasure smoulder
Images fade but the town won't let them go
[Chorus 2]
Sleepwalking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
(ooh) leave this city behind you
[Verse 3]
Drive wherever the roads will take you to
Down beside a river frozen brown
January days and their scarecrow trees
So cold - feel your ears burn
[Chorus 3]
See you walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
(ooh) leave this city behind you
[Verse 4]
Past and present
They converge on every side
The wires all get tangled
When now and then collide
Bittersweet taste of a time and another place before
[Outro]
Sleep walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
(ooh) feel this city define you
(yeah) leave this city behind you
