"Sad Sad City" lyrics - CHRIS CORNELL

Been getting tired of my motor running
Feeling overheated 'cause my life keeps coming
My heart's been troubled by the speed of love
Searching these streets for a soul committee
Talking ideas on lust and pity
The fables I've found have no place in my home

[Pre-Chorus:]
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth

[Chorus:]
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city

Well, we roll the dice, pay the price
Dance with wolves in a pack of lies
The blood we crave will drive us all insane
Outer space is a lovely place
A long lost love in a flower vase
Laying on the floor shattered, battered and bruised

[Pre-Chorus:]
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth

[Chorus:]
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city

[Pre-Chorus:]
Well, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth
Yeah, I need you
To want me, hold me, tell me the truth

[Chorus:]
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
Ain't no party in a sad sad city
