The Classic Crime "City Of Orphans"

City Of Orphans, A song off The Classic Crime's New Album PHOENIX! Available in stores and online NOW!
LYRICS:
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill
And every night she walks the block to trade in her time for cheap thrills
And everyone she meets is cool, but just out of reach and it kills
She used to spend her nights by firelight and singing to the stars
Now she's ours
Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice
And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise
For now he felt like he belonged to those who understood him
But he sold his soul to fight right in and he watched his friends desert him
He used to spend his nights by candlelight and drinking wine to vinyl
Now he's ours
It's a city of orphans
Who had nowhere to go
So they cashed in their dreams
Headed northwest to the sea and they called it their home
But most don't belong here
We're all running away
And we'll drain you dry of all semblance of life
We don't give we just take, take, take
But this city has no Bible
There's no meaning you can use
We're all desperately searching for truth
We're a city of orphans
Who had no place to go
So we cashed in our dreams, filled our glasses with Beam and our bodies with smoke
and we spend every weeknight
trading pints at the Streamline
and we talk about truth and we talk about love but we wake up to lies, lies, lies
it's a city of orphans
where did our fathers go
we stumble around in the bad part of town at the end of our rope
but there are no answers
on the tables of oak
if God could just hear us
we think that He's near, but He left long ago
we're a city of orphans
what do we do to ourselves?
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hil

Después de escuchar a este grupo creo que esta canción es una de las mejores que he escuchado mi vida y tengo 67 años. Es perfecta musicalmente hablando, la melodía es de una belleza que te tira de espaldas y la vos del solista es algo como de otro planeta, hace con la voz verdaderas maravillas, una de las mejores voces que he escuchado nunca. Gracias por regalarnos esta joya para nuestros oídos y nuestra alma. Manuel. 🇪🇦❤🇪🇦

This song gives me so much nostalgia. I remember when I was younger and my father would play this in the car and I would sing along to it as we did errands.

[@suzannemendez9727]

For some reason i'm getting sad from this song?!?!

[@glooer]

Aside from Seattle pride, this song is recognizing that a city without God is a city of orphans.

Was so late to hear this.lovely song.but really dont know the meaning. 😍

[@artisteric]

I think it’s saying that cities without God have nothing good in them. Yes maybe there are churches and stuff but the orphans don’t know they just stay trapped in lies and deceit from the devil. Where sin is so concentrated there also it’s dark so many people are lost and can’t see beyond that.
