Lyrics: Theatre Of Tragedy. Musique. City of Light.

High-rise buildings
Low cost apartments
Financial district
Industrial area

Rows of blue collars
Steelworkers? clink-clang
Metal rhythm left and right
This is the city, city of light

Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines
Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines of the city

6 p.m. whistle
Next the inner city
Smiling grimy faces
Tea at the local pub

Low-cut dresses
High-spirited workers
Sizzling neon-lights, click on
This is the city, city of light

Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines
Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines of the city

2 a.m. binge
Low-life slag heap
Used up and burnt out
Like a kick in the teeth

Ramble, shamble on home
Grime back in harness
Metal rhythm left and right
This is the city, city of light

Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines
Flicker, click on
Click off, click on
The faceless men
The machines of the city
