Shifting City Songtext
von John Foxx

Somewhere in the shifting city
Where sleeping shadows shifting into places, over, under
In and out of phase I wander
Often I can feel the drifitng sea
All shifting slowly through me
When I wake and yeah,
When I′m half asleep
Somewhere
Somehow
Some trace
Someplace
Somewhere in the shifting city
The drifting city
The glistening city
The tricky vivid glistening city
And I'm still trying to figure it
Somewhere
Somehow
Some trace
Someplace


Silence in the early morning
Over under damp and dawning
We′ll be waltzing by the windows
Stunned by all the sudden sunglow
Can we play the moves before we go?
Empty empire into bungalow
Slowly shifting into other vistas
Visiting and lost and listless
Listening, misty
Seeing, shady
Waving, meeting
Swirling, swaying
Saying something to me slowly
Somewhere in the shifting city
Somewhere
Somehow
Some trace
Someplace
Somewhere in the shifting city
The drifting city
The glistening city
The tricky vivid glittering city
And I'm still trying to figure in it
(And I will find you in the streets and you will know me)
(And I will see you in the streets when you are lonely)
Everything would
Everything you do
Everything you say
Everything we'll ever lose
Everythign you′ll see
And everything you′ve got...
