Lyrics
I was in a rush in the desert
When I got too close
Look down, turn around
I'm dancing with another ghost
So I'll be on my way
Pack it up and head into the night
I can't tell how far I've got
But it feels like a million miles
Said I know you've been hungry
For the kind of love that makes time fly
But you can't just snap your fingers
You've got to sit back and let this life surprise you
I heard a lie about a peculiar type
Who slips out the back door
When their heart is on the line
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
A cactus danced like the soldier guarding the house
One false move and then you'll feel the prick of blood
Well I'd rather be just like a flower on a mountain side
And bring joy and light to anyone who might find me
I'll testify, I found a couple [?] that wound up dry
But I want to get back to the ocean blue
I want to swim in the rivers and lakes
And I'm roaming on looking for the language of love
But I hope that its not more of the same
Before this journey's done
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
In the city of no reply, in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
Run run away, you don't want to watch me cry
Oh to live and die in the city of no reply
