Cherry Pie and Cyanide
David McEwan

The city lays its head down now; the streets are dead but for the howl
Of singing dogs and breaking dawn oh where have all the people gone?
I love to walk alone at night, fast cars and lovers packed real tight
I love to watch the little things and write about almost anything

This is how you feel alive - Hot cherry pie and cyanide
No more tears just laugh inside
This is how you live your life – flying high fly so high
Is this how you feel alive, hot cherry pie and cyanide, hot cherry pie ‘n’ cyanide

The daylight casts a darker shine that nighttime swallows just in time
For all the people just like me who really have no place to be
The alleyways and trash cans drew a picture that’s both old and new
Oh how it feels to be alive, and walk these city streets at night

So hold my place in line tonight, I might be late but that’s alright
The line begins and ends right here, with jokes and laughter and finally tears
The city lays its head down now; the streets are dead but for the howl
Of singing dogs and breaking dawn oh where have all the people gone?
