INTRO x1 x3 VERSE Calling all offenders of the bleeding hearts Who’s gonna save us from our city tonight? This one’s dedicated to a thing of past Now I hate to be the one who has to try And spoil the surprise But there ain’t nowhere to hide For tonight Merry-go-rounds and turtle doves Our history and the speed forgone In this city of modern love If you don’t believe me then you’re lost VERSE In every paper and on every line Now the truth is there in black and in white There’s no salvation at your brother’s side But if love is no longer alive then love it cannot die But there ain’t nowhere to hide For tonight Merry-go-rounds and turtle doves Our history and the speed forgone In this city of modern love If you don’t believe me then you’re lost BREAK Merry-go-rounds and turtle doves Our history and the speed forgone In this city of modern love If you don’t believe me then you’re lost OUTRO This is an emergency ‘Cause there ain’t no pity in the city of modern love This is an emergency ‘Cause there ain’t no pity in the city of modern love This is an emergency ‘Cause there ain’t no pity in the city of modern love This is an emergency ‘Cause there ain’t no pity in the city of modern love
