The rain is coming down like a million drummers 
 The lights are flashing on God's pinball machine 
 It's after midnight, I'm home alone without you 
 Still under the city, still in my dreams 

 Welcome to the city of your dreams 

 Welcome to the city where the streets are paved with shit 
 Welcome to your new home, get used to it 
 An East End squat with a cat and two junkie friends 
 The beginning of your life, coming to an end 

 Welcome to the city of your dreams 

 Welcome to the city where the sun never shines 
 It's always hot down here, but I'm cold all the time 
 We stumble through shit, searching for a slice of our dreams 
 And fight over the crumbs, and fall apart at the seams 

 Welcome to the city of your dreams
