All the disused derelict buildings They tell of stories of time gone by They tell of broken dreams promises Of all those forgotten lies
And the wastegrounds of a city proud Tell the story you know too well Just sit back for a while and listen to the story I tell
You tell the story You tell the story You tell the story You heard ten times before
You wait for the day it must come soon To get you away from your feelings of gloom There's no real hope and there's none on it's way You only survive from day to day
You tell the story You tell the story You tell the story You heard ten times before
You tell a story of a city proud You tell the story you shout it out loud The same old story you wanna hear no more The same old story you've heard ten times before
