Alex Maas x The City (Official Video)

"'The City' is a sort-of meditative and melancholic reflection of Americana.  The video was shot as the director independently travelled across the U.S.A.  The director tried to capture the mundanity and nostalgia of present day America on her 3000 mile journey." - Laura-Lynn Petrick (Video Director)

All the watchmen on the tower are sleeping

and the men have all gone home

now that's a city that's ripe for the taking

and behind the castle's walls the children playing

as the army plots their position

all the watchmen on the tower are sleeping

and the men have all gone home

now that's a city that's ripe for the taking

and someone took it for the love of taking

all the many broken bones the people dying

all the many burning homes the women cryin

now that's a city that's ripe for the taking

and someone took it, now it's yours for the taking

all the watchmen on the tower are sleeping

and the men have all gone home as the army starts advancing

now that's a city that's ripe for the taking

ya thats a city that's ripe for the taking

now that's ripe for the taking

now that's our city now that's our city

thats been taken - Alex Maas (Lyrics)
