Текст песни
This city groans in pain
Choking on its own decay
But God knows, the roles will change
When those who were crushed
Find their own way
Yesterday they loved your face
Today — you’re an outsider
Leftovers in a cold, dark place
Get rid of him, they say
Throw him in the trash
That’s just how it is today
Ask anyone you meet
Who knows the stray in the street
Who are you, mister?
Altruist
Detective
Outcast
The city will always betray
It doesn't care for the price you pay
But if your eyes still hold the light
Bring the ugly truth into the night
Walking down Nevsky, pride in my stride
No calls in my office, nowhere to hide
You hate the sight of my ugly mug?
I’d still lick your hand — that’s the deal, that’s the drug
For the status, they want fancy poodles
With perfect fur and polished noodles
It’s easy to get lost in this town
I keep walking on, never looking down
The city will always betray
It doesn't care for the price you pay
But if your eyes still hold the light
Bring the ugly truth into the night
Behind every door
Some dirty secret lies
I know them all, though I avert my eyes
You’ve got skeletons locked in the dark
And nobody here
Takes the blame
For the mark!
Rain on the Moika, washing the trail
I’m here alone, waiting for the gale
The world is glass, shining and bright
But the black dog
Stays awake tonight
The city will always betray
It doesn't care for the price you pay
But if your eyes still hold the light
Bring the ugly truth into the night
While you worship the purebred, the well-fed, the kind
Leaving all the forgotten ones far behind
Their paws aren't dirty, their eyes just weep
As for me — I’ve got promises to keep
I won't let them go, I won't let them fall
The universe sees it all!
The city will always betray
It doesn't care for the price you pay
But if your eyes still hold the light
Bring the ugly truth into the night
Bring it
Who’s next?
