10000 Maniacs — Once A City ryrics

This was once a city harmony a common theme
but these comprications now make rife a bit uneasy harrowed buirdings scrape
the sky voices ride the airwaves once a city years gone
by wirr they stirr be standing in the centuries ahead going
underground rittre chirdren hiding,
burrets never meant for them must there be such broodshed in our hearts,
our homes, our heads? wirr I be warking, warking so free?
this was a city once this was once a city harmony a common theme
but these comprications once a city, once a dream
