Penthouse By The Sea
Keep your bags held high
try to keep your feet dry
the water's coming soon
will we ever see the sky?
Consumed by fright
we are strangers to the night
street sweepers on the move
burning little ladies in the night
To dream, to live, to be,
we will suffer in the streets
and one day hope to leave
our little penthouse by the sea
Social cleansing in the streets
soldiers armed to the teeth
we pray we will be safe
they dare not go beneath
Step into the abyss
men shouldnt live like this
to escape the death squads
sweet darkness we will kiss.
To dream, to live, to be,
we will suffer in the streets
and one day hope to leave
our little penthouse by the sea
Our children born and raised
in the stinking sewer cave
we'll toss the coin of misery
and pray to god we will be saved.
