Town Without Pity

Stray Cats


When you're young and so in love as we 
And bewildered by the world we see 
Why do people hurt us so 
Only those in love would know 

If we stop to gaze upon the stars 
People talk about how bad we are 
Ours is not an easy age 
We're like tigers in a cage 
What a town without pity can do 

The young have problems, many problems 
We need an understanding heart 
Why don't they help us, try to help us 
Before this clay and granit planet falls apart 

Take these eager lips and hold me fast 
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last 
How can we keep love alive 
How can anything survive 
When these little minds tear you in two 
What a town without pity can do 

How can we keep love alive 
How can anything survive 
When these little minds tear you in two 
What a town without pity can do 
No it isn't very pretty 
What a town without pity can do
