To the city

Onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes.
I've seen this all before.

I know what can happen
When you're honest and true
It's too late to change now
Your years flew too soon.
I've seen this all before
And more.

You found the right cliff top
For saying goodbye
As life swung it's elbow
And spat in your eye.
I've seen this all before
and more.

So onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes.
Yes I've seen this all before
And more.
