Ghostland Observatory - Sad, Sad City



Artist: Ghostland Observatory
Track: Sad, Sad City
Album: Paparazzi Lightning
Year: 2006

This is one of those songs where the beat just draws you in from the very beginning. That steady, funky beat grooves through the whole song, joined by buzzy electronics and hyped vocals. It's a pretty short song, but it uses those 3 minutes well to get me energized. And that's all I got, folks. I just like the song.

LYRICS:

Been getting tired of my motor running, 
Feeling over heated 
'Cause my life keeps comming, 
My hearts been troubled by the speed of love. 
Searching the streets for a soul commity, 
Talking ideas on lust and pity, 
The fables I've found have no place at home. 

Well I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth
Say I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth, yeah
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city

Well roll the dice, pay the price 
Dance with wolves in a pack of lies, 
The blood we crave shall drive us all insane. 
Yeah, outerspace, it's a lovely place, 
Long lost love in flower vasse, 
Laying on the floor shattered, battered and bruised. 

Well I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth
Said I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth, yeah
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city

I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth, hey 
Said I need you 
To want me, to hold me, to tell me the truth, yeah
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city
Ain't no party in a sad, sad city
Ha!
