Letra de ' Howl ' de Richard Clapton

Sometimes this city looks pertrified,
I'm out here prowling like a wolf tonight,
Got no defences when you're on your own,
Trying to survive inside this danger zone;

Everyone here is getting so defensive,
They've lost their way and they've lost their senses,
My pulse is pounding and my heart is beating,
I've lost control and I've lost all reason;

The light is fading and it's getting dark,
Shadowy strangers in the switching yard,
Kids hanging out just waiting for the man,
He's always going to have the upper hand,

My head is spinning, I can't think too clear,
I just keep dreaming I'll get out of here,
I'll find a place where I can find myself,
Crawl through a hole - escape the Citadel,

The walls of Babylon are built so high,
But there's a new world on the other side,
So I keep on searching - hold on to this dream,
The only thing they cannot take from me,

We sit here waiting for some understanding,
Life in this city is just way too demanding,
People talking at me - unrelenting,
Until I find that I have lost my senses;

CHORUS:
When you've finally got nothing to lose,
Howl up at the moon,
Last night I sat listening to you,
Howling at the moon.

The banker is wearing a suspender belt,
He's drinking French champagne and raising hell,
He likes the feel of his Versace dress,
He's smeared his lipstick and it's such a mess;

I look at life and see the other side,
Some crazy junkie just shot out the lights,
Muslims and Christians and the Holy Jews,
They do their best to make a mess of you;

CHORUS:
When you've finally got nothing to lose,
Howl up at the moon,
Last night I sat listening to you,
Howling at the moon.
