These streets used to be mine
Now they've become a minefield
I'd never met you
Back when I believed that time healed
Need something stronger than time
Something longer than time
These sleeping dogs will be lying
All over music city
We used to dance around this neighborhood
Like little children
But the cozy family homes are gone now
It's all apartment buildings
And I need something stronger than time
Something longer than time
These sleeping dogs have been lying
And when all the architecture's gone
We might still have one or two songs
It won't be long, won't be long
The sand in the hour glass,
The minute hand's corroded brass
Couldn't ever be so crass
As what you did to me
(do you know what you did to me?)
Need something stronger than time
Something longer than time
These sleeping dogs have been lying
All over me
These sleeping dogs have been lying
All over music city
