City Lyrics by Primal Scream

Shoot Speed (More Dirty Hits)

2002

[Intro]
I'm drunk, babe
Want it back

[Verse 1]
Everyone I see's diseased or broken
Holes in their arms, they got cocaine eyes
Self-mutilation is self-surveillance
Wanna get to Heaven, you gotta die

[Pre-Chorus]
Here she comes, here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna waste another man

[Chorus]
Oh, sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Oh, sick city
Gonna be my death
Gonna be the death of me

[Verse 2]
Little Johnny Junk's a subway pilot
He'll knife you in the head for Chinese rock
Catch a falling spike, ride a silver rocket
Score a body bag deal from the Vietcong

[Pre-Chorus]
Here she comes, here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna waste another man

[Chorus]
Oh, sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Oh, sick city
Gonna be my death
Gonna be the death of me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Your meat on a hook in your own snuff movie
Torture loop hallucination, nerves spliced
No inoculation from the viral programme
There's spiders in your mouth, shoot insecticide

[Pre-Chorus]
Here she comes, here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes, here she comes
Gonna waste another man

[Chorus]
Oh, sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Oh, sick city
Is gonna be my death
Gonna be the death of me

[Outro]
Sick, sick, sick, sick city
Sick, sick, sick, sick city
Sick, sick, sick, sick city
Sick, sick, sick, sick city, sick city
