Art Isn’t Real (City of Sin) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the dotted line
And you fill me in with whatever you like
I am just going through the motions
And I need an old fashioned potion
There's gotta be some old recipe
'Cause I gotta get drunk
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
I lived in lies all my life
And I've been living here for a long, long time
And I know it's been coming down a while now
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
But right now you're halfway around the world
And maybe I'll see better days
But I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
I'm still hanging 'round and 'round
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
In the bowels of history and time
Well, I have learned to stay back and never shine
I am the dotted line
And you fill me in with whatever you like
I am just going through the motions
And I need an old fashioned potion
There's gotta be some old recipe
'Cause I gotta get drunk
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
I lived in lies all my life
And I've been living here for a long, long time
And I know it's been coming down a while now
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
But right now you're halfway around the world
And maybe I'll see better days
But I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
I'm still hanging 'round and 'round
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
In the bowels of history and time
Well, I have learned to stay back and never shine
Now I feel stupid when I smile
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Verse 4]
I can't make up for everything I waste
And I know that I could never afford a taste
Of anything that your lovely hands make
It eats away with a force so great
Just 'cause it brings a smile to my face
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
I know of a city to steal from
And I know of a city to cheat on
And I know of a city of sin
And that's the place that I wanna meet you in
And say hello all over again
Romance me, take me back to the beginning
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Verse 4]
I can't make up for everything I waste
And I know that I could never afford a taste
Of anything that your lovely hands make
It eats away with a force so great
Just 'cause it brings a smile to my face
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
I know of a city to steal from
And I know of a city to cheat on
And I know of a city of sin
And that's the place that I wanna meet you in
And say hello all over again
Romance me, take me back to the beginning
