Hustler's Tango​/​City of Lies

from The Lone Wolf Chronicles by Timi Tamminen

/

lyrics

This place is a wilderness
The people around you don’t wish you well, no
Not a single trace of tenderness
Just the cold hustle that never ends, no

Ooh
I keep pushing through praying change will come soon

Would you like to dance with me before I go back to the sea?
You’ve got no clue of what I’ve seen, what I’ve gone through, no
We always see the gloss and the fame
Never the dirt and the pain
Prepare for the ride ‘cause only the strongest survive in this city of lies
In this city of lies

Caught in this game
A million miles away
Every day’s a race
Painted by ambitions and pain

I’ve told you ‘bout the fighting
Told you ‘bout the crying, told you ‘bout this city of lies
I’ve talked about desire, talked about the fire, talked about the void that’s inside
I’ve warned you ‘bout the vipers, warned you ‘bout the tigers, warned you ‘bout this city of lies
I’ve told it in my writings: behold, the phoenix rising
Welcome to this city of lies
