The City

Crying, walking alone And no matter what they say My people just talk I hate the city My people kill each other By the guns in their tongues The fake smile on my lips Walking alone and the people Just ask me some addresses Who cares the tears I must be hurry up Death waits me over the city

Dear Naghmeh, your melody (Naghmeh) is sad, mine is always painful. I said it once, " Which one is better, which one is worst? Drowning in water or dying of thirst." Happy days
