Art Lyrics by The Firebird Band

The City At Night

2004

I miss all my old friends as they were before
I miss all the cities as they were before
I miss all the daytimes spent with some old friends
But I know everything must end
You live like shit and suffer for your art
Is that what you call it?
Is that what you call it?
She said, you live like shit
And suffer for your art
Is that what you call it?
Is that what you call it?
That’s messed up
And it’s fucking depressing
How much of this must you put up with
And how times do I have to say stay away?
And how many friends must I go through
And how many lies must I put you through
You live like shit
And suffer for your art
Is that what you call it
Is that what you call it?
It wouldn’t be art if you didn’t starve yourself to death, she said
It wouldn’t be art if you didn’t starve yourself to death, she said
That’s messed up
And it’s fucking depressing
When was the last time that you’ve seen the sun?
And I don’t mean at sunset
When you’re just waking up
And I don’t mean at sunrise
When you’re still up from the night before
When was the last time that you felt good?
As deep as you are through hours of my time
And minutes of daylight
Glimpse yourself: thin, pale, soft and white
And sick as hell
Live like shit
And suffer for your art
Is that what you call it?
Is that what you call it, she said
You live like shit
And suffer for your art
Is that what you call it?
Is that what you call it, she said
And that’s messed up
And it’s fucking depressing
