Lyrics:
I stop the wheel from spinning 'round
Can I lay my burden down
I dreamed I walked and held a woman's hand in a city in the sky
Then I was alone
At the close of life's long weary day
I'll meet you in the morning with a 'How do you do?'
And we'll sit down by the river and when rapture of the plane is
down
I sit inside this plane
Notice how the city lights
Are like the nerves inside the brain
One by one
They're going out
You watch them dim
New York City is a thousand miles away
And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's OK
Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down
'Cause they don't
twenty square miles!
They took it into the nuclear mine
Judging by this, they left nothing behind
Down in the bunkers in the crust of the earth
Now
People jeffin' my checks be nice sums
By the way the way that I talk you can guess where I'm from
Kansas City, yeah! Kansas City, yeah!
Kansas
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
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh)
When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my
love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
A city freeze
Get on your knees
Pray for warmth and green paper.
A city drought
You're down and out
See your trousers don't taper.
Saddle up
the big city blues
Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky
Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry
Clouds hangin' above me
No one there to love me
to the West Coast, daddy
And let me be where I belong
Hey now, Philly, you street city
Been down by the railroad track
I know you can be a sweet city
But
And you get into a fight
And the blades run down your back like superstars
Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Anne Rice
And go on down Bourbon Street
I see a sea of smiles (ooh ooh)
I see a haunted city
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for
City ways are gonna get you, baby
City ways is gonna small you in
City ways are gonna keep you, baby
Down in the hollow you're in
Down in the hollow
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Anne Rice
And go on down Bourbon Street
I see a sea of smiles (ooh ooh)
I see a haunted city
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it's not, not made by hand
Light up, light up
Light up your lazy blue eyes
Moon's up nights up
Taking the town by surprise
Night time night time
Day left an hour ago
Woke up, woke up in New York City
Lying on the floor
Just outside of Marcy's, West 54, wow
You gonna know my name by the end of the night, yeah
the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it's not, not made by hand
wet forests on our
Moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive
Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride, down
Down by the ocean side, gonna get real
lest you wind up dead
In the cold embrace of a watery grave
Boats down oars in the water Boats down off through the sea
Boats down singing to my fair
Discuss these city on down by oar Lyrics with the community:
