City of No Reply

[Verse 1]
I was in a rush in the desert
When I got too close
Look down, turn around
Im dancing with another ghost
[Verse 2]
So Ill be on my way
Pack it up and head into the night
I cant tell how far Ive got
But it feels like a million miles
[Pre-Chorus]
Said I know youve been hungry
For the kind of love that makes time fly
But you cant just snap your fingers
Youve got to sit back and let this life surprise you
I heard a lie about a peculiar type
Who slips out the back door
When their heart is on the line
[Chorus]
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
[Verse 3]
A cactus danced like the soldier guarding the house
One false move and then youll feel the prick of blood
Well Id rather be just like a flower on a mountain side
And bring joy and light to anyone who might find me
[Pre-Chorus ]
Ill testify, I found a couple [?] that wound up dry
But I want to get back to the ocean blue
I want to swim in the rivers and lakes
And Im roaming on looking for the language of love
But I hope that its not more of the same
Before this journeys done
[Chorus]
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
[Bridge]
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
[Chorus]
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you dont want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
