Jake Shears – Creep City lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said to come and sort your mind
But did you mean it?, Ooh, but did you mean it?
Then warmed the bread and poured the wine
I thought I’d seen it all, until you broke that seventh wall

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I’d hang on for the ride
Now I’m hanging on for dear life
Is that a real knife?

[Chorus]
Get me out of this creep city
I’m flat broke and I don’t need pity right now
Just get me out, out, out, out
All the dogs in the back been smothered
And these cats don’t make good lovers
This town’s on cursed ground, ground, ground, ground

[Verse 2]
Was the judge not clear?
Just have a look at them ears [?]
Full of ice cream sundaes
Funny no one wondered who’s thumb I was under
Never gave a goddamn, I gave you 21 grand
Cause baby I love you more than the trash can

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I’d give it one more try
Now I’m giving up the good life
I’d make a bad wife

[Chorus]
Get me out of this creep city
I’m flat broke and I don’t look pretty right now
Just get me out, out, out, out
All the dogs in the back been smothered
And these cats don’t make good lovers
This town’s on cursed ground, ground, ground, ground

[Bridge]
And if there’s a sign to show me from this world back to mine
Or tell me you’ll try, or at least please reply
Sincerely I’ll be waiting, ’til I die

[Outro]
Creep city
No I’m never gonna say goodbye [?]
Sin city
But something is alive
