Sex City - Lyrics - Van She
Van She is an electropop band formed in 2002 in Sydney, Australia, with Matt Van Schie on bass guitar vocals, Tomek Archer on drums sequencer, Michael Di Francesco on synth guitar and Nicholas Routledge on vocals guitar. The band's debut album, V was released on the Australian label Modular Recordings in August 2008, which peaked at #10 on the Australian Recording Industry Association album charts. Their label introduced them as a "new band from Sydney fresh on ideas, fresher than Flavor Flav, fresh like coriander, fresher than the Fresh Prince, fresher than fresh eggs." Despite these claims, the band began with a sound very much rooted in the 1980s, heavy on synthesizer, although later material reflects a more textured sound. They also do remixes of other artists' work both under their own name and as the offshoot, Van She Technologic.

In the dark lights, we come out and play
We are its children and we're here to stay
Running through the streets, hungry for strays
No invitation to take me away
I'm not cruel, but that's still what you see
Club to club, come see this city with me
Hungry for life, without your pity
I don't want it, but it comes anyway
You go *** city
You still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait
In the darkness, a killer awaits
To kill a life and the lies you make
You do another, so this death can live
Just keep on dancing, to the movie you're in
The smell of your sweat, just lures me in
Your heartbeat, does sing to me
Your running feet, beats my blood
My ghost inside you, soon will be
You go *** city
You still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait
Now it's over, you've taken your life
The dark grows thin and I'm left to hide
I don't regret it, but it's sad anyway
Now we're both dead and scared of the black
This life of games and diligent trust
It's the things we do, or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust
You go *** city
You still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait
