Secret Dakota Ring I Don't Wanna Know About My City
Late night
I tie my boots tight
Shut out the last light
And open the door
Kids on the block kick the midnight
The king beats his retreat
Down the alleys
To the palace
Safe from the street
I don't wanna know about my city
I don't wanna know about my city at all
I don't wanna know about the city without my queen
My queen
Silver chains
The full moon wanes
All that remains
A sliver of white
Shining light on the river
A shiver runs down my spine
Across the bridges
Through the tunnels
Where once you were mine
I don't wanna know about my city
I don't wanna know about my city at all
I don't wanna know about the city without my queen
My queen
Time stands still
Let me stay here till I've had my fill
Time don't quit
You take only what time permits
You can taste it, you can touch it
Then it's gone
I don't wanna know about my city
(The bricks and the noise were so pretty)
I don't wanna know about my city at all
(I don't wanna think about my city)
I don't wanna know about my city
(The old song made a beautiful roar)
I don't wanna know about my city at all
(I don't wanna hear about the city no more)
I don't wanna know about the city without my queen
My queen
