[Verse 1]
Here she comes, looking pretty
Here she comes, feeling fine
Her oyster walls, this big city
She is the pearl roughly confined
And to you, all's still a mystery
Filled with doubt, though she is ripe
So she moves, anxious but steadily
Fading now into the night
[Chorus]
What is freedom
What is love?
Always some strings attached, some fucking catch
Can't deal in dealings with no integrity
Where is honor
What is sincerity?
Sometimes this city really gets me down
Can't see my way through it all
[Bridge]
And she ran like blood
Through the corridors of your mind
Into a brand-new future
One without likes of you
[Chorus]
What is freedom
What is love?
Always some strings attached, some fucking catch
Can't deal in dealings with no integrity
Where is honor
What is sincerity?
Sometimes this city really gets me down
Can't see my way through it all
