C
I read the graffiti
C/B
In the bathroom stall
Am G
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall

And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much
C/B
But it only confirmed that
Am G
The center of the earth is the end of the world
F G
And I could really care less

[Chorus 2]

Am G
City of the dead
C F
At the end of another lost highway
Am G F
Sign misleading to nowhere

City of the damned

Lost children with dirty faces today

No one really seems to care
