| It was in the city of shame | 
| That I found I wasn’t to blame | 
| I was looking for a weird thing or two | 
| I discovered that it had to be you | 
| It was in the city of fear | 
| That I shouted 'Is there nobody here?' | 
| Though the echo had the name on a ring | 
| Still the echo wasn’t called anything | 
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la | 
| It was in the city of love | 
| All the flesh I ate was never enough | 
| Though I knew it wasn’t good for my soul | 
| My body hungered for the ultimate goal | 
| It was in the city of spies | 
| That I spoke with nothing but lies | 
| When they set a trap for all you could feel | 
| It’s important that your mind is concealed | 
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la | 
| It was in the city of shapes | 
| That she made love to several apes | 
| She felt weird for a couple of days | 
| Pretty soon she got used to their ways | 
| It was in the city of fools | 
| That she sold her beautiful jewels | 
| Someone bought them and sold them again | 
| Now they’ve been bought by several men | 
| La, la, la, la, la, la, la |
