Am
Water was running, children were running
F
You were running out of time
Am
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
F
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?

Chorus:
Am   C             F
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
    Am   C             F
But ohh, oh your city lies in dust
 Am     C F
My friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands

Chorus:
But ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
My friend

G
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying

Am             C
Hot and burning in your nostrils
F
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Am            C
Molten bodies, blanket of cinders
F
Caught in the throes, and ohh

Chorus:
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
And ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
My friend
My friend
My friend

Your city lies in dust
Your city lies in dust
Your city, your city
This city lies in dust
Your city, this city
My city lies in dust
Lies in dust
It lies in dust
I love you Siouxsie
