Dead Man in Hong Kong

People are living like ghosts
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes...

I sense a judging leer
From every person here
That's just how it goes

Soaking in the sights
The flowers, pollution and junk
And the sounds of the night
The dealers, gamblers and drunks

I'm just a dead man in Hong Kong
Another dead man in Hong Kong

I sat down on the beach
I wanted to be free
That's just how it goes

But these streets are my veins
I just can't explain
That's just how it goes

They make me feel alive
Running from the police
Low-life high-rise high life
I have to make it in one piece

I'm just a dead man in Hong Kong
Another dead man in Hong Kong

I don't want to ascend
Away from these dead ends
That's just how it goes

This city is my shell
Then I thought to myself:
"That's just how it goes"

I'm just a small fry
Hiding in the alleyway
The streets are filled with lies
I'm just living from day to day

I'm just a runaway in Hong Kong
Another runaway in Hong Kong

I'm just a dead man in Hong Kong
Another dead man in Hong Kong

You reek of piss but I still love you
