lyrics

I lived with the gamblers, I lived with the saints
I walked with angels they all know my name
They know me and know just what state I am in
They won't bring me back to a city of sin

And the city will love you, the city will crush
You childlike illusions of them and of us
A three-headed lady licking your skin
Is all you will find in the city of sin

You left to become what you thought you could be
Set and to find God, then left behind me
You stumbled and fell through the floorboards thin
They are never that thick, in a city of sin

So we sell off our lives to the octopus-men,
In flaming casinos again and again
Don't tell me no lies, I know just where you've been
You will go straight to hell from the city of sin

And all the apostles, the pimps and the thieves
They sell off our world, lay waste to our dreams
But don't cry for the dead, cry for lives that begin
Deprived of all love in a city of sin

steempi weiss
by Joselito & Tamar Weiss

Tamar is a good friend of mine and this is her band "Steempi Weiss". Tamar made this album years ago, as a lament for her dead dog. I think it is beautiful and mysterious. Tamar is a true musician! Psychic Seizures

The first person I got to know when moving to Berlin was Tal, we bonded over music and beer. This is his band, and they play melodic shoegaze music. If you like my music, you will LOVE Summer of G! Psychic Seizures
