Lyrics:
money goes
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
down any minute
So you know the stick gotta sleep with me
It go down in the city of God
Goin' slidin', don't even feel nothin', no
It's a jungle, I
girl and hold her tight
We can take it nice and easy
You know it won't be long till we'll be, we'll be
Down by the lazy river
Come as you please
here baby
Sugar, let your papa take you by the hand
Well, you be my woman
And I'll be your city-boy, country man.
I'm gonna move up to the country
nothing is the same,
And now the city lights are dimming one by one,
It costs too much money to keep them all on.
Me and Sarah Jane,
In silence walk
hat down low,
Get back to my roots, by a full moon glow
I got an old Jon boat that I stowed down there
On them hot summer nights when I get a-wild
down?
I'm goin' up to the country
Where there ain't no doggone smog around
Well, come here, baby
Sugar, let your papa take you by the hand
Well,
girl and hold her tight
We can take it nice and easy
You know it won't be long till we'll be, we'll be
Down by the lazy river
Come as you please
the streets,
And finding nothing is the same,
And now the city lights are dimming one by one,
It costs too much money to keep them all on.
Me and Sarah
to get off into that brand new Snoop Dogg produced by Pharrell
So everybody in the city tonight
I want to you roll your window down and turn the music up
all country and Western
We're northern and southern
Sisters and brothers
Motor city down to Mississippi
Vegas lights to Atlantic City, yeah
(Burning down love)
(Burning down love)
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to break down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out,
in heat
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
The cripple
by in the low ride
Hands high when we fly by
System up with the top down
Got the city on lockdown
Drive by in the low ride
Hands high when we
Workin' in the city
This town's got no pity
Bossman owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line, it's overtime
I'll tell you it's a crime
They get
Sons of the silent age
Stand on platforms blank looks and note books
Sit in back rows of city limits
Lay in bed coming and going on easy terms
Sons of the silent age
Stand on platforms blank looks and note books
Sit in back rows of city limits
Lay in bed coming and going on easy terms
Street
In July
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle
floating down a poison stream and I'm debating the pros
And cons of rowing on my own I hope the poison recedes
Beneath the oars - will you row with me?
The best of motor cruisin's just the joy to get there.
I was approachin' Simonton down by the cotton gin.
There was old man Berkman trying to flag me in.
of glass - Transparency
Memories of light shaking the soul to the core
Floating by like a boat with no oar
Fallen on the floor lies my patience for tomorrow
Burning down your city is burning down
Burning down your city is burning down
Burning down my city is burning down
Burning down my city is burning
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
In the river of darkness
He's a man of the night
Yeah
What the deal playboy, just rest your
'Cause you promised to put it down
All up in your city, lookin' for you
Searchin' for your light, oh
Only thing keeping me from droppin' you right now
