Lyrics Hustler's Tango/City of Lies - Timi Tamminen

This place is a wilderness
The people around you don't wish you well, no
Not a single trace of tenderness
Just the cold hustle that never ends, no

Ooh
I keep pushing through praying change will come soon

Would you like to dance with me before I go back to the sea
You've got no clue of what I've seen, what I've gone through, no
We always see the gloss and the fame
Never the dirt and the pain
Prepare for the ride 'cause only the strongest survive in this city of lies
In this city of lies

Caught in this game
A million miles away
Every day's a race
Painted by ambitions and pain

I've told you 'bout the fighting
Told you 'bout the crying
Told you 'bout this city of lies
I've talked about desire
Talked about the fire
Talked about the void that's inside
I've warned you 'bout the vipers
Warned you 'bout the tigers
Warned you 'bout this city of lies
I've told it in my writings
Behold, the phoenix rising
Welcome to this city of lies
