about

Latest single from The Wry Dogs. Inspired by best-selling book by Don Winslow, City On Fire is a classic Rock sounding track about Greed, Temptation and Power. Look out for the 3rd Album, coming later in 2022.

lyrics

She came out of the sea,
All sex and what might bes
A smile, that could kill you like
A bullet through your brain
A chemical reaction,
Those eyes, fatal attraction
Away, before she even tries to say her name

The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She’s a liar
Your city is on fire

From her lips, a siren song
Of everything that’s wrong today
And still you try to kiss them anyway
Her golden hair will blind you
Until greed comes to find you to pay
Because you cannot run from judgement day

The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She’s a liar
Your city is on fire

The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire

Your city is on fire

Your city is fire

It’s the face that launched a thousand ships
The tale is old, but here’s the twist
It’s your own greed that started this

Your city is on fire
