Lyrics:
the city at a calm
Break it down
Tear it apart
The city's going off
Like a bomb
Break down the fear
I got my animosity
I'm gonna break it down
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
But all the towns
And the embers never fade in my city by the lake
The place where I was born
As the wind-up toys wind down
Muffling the sound of a life hidden
the lighthouse in the end
So long old pal, don't you worry about me
See you when I lay down my oars and hang up my pole
And walk by the memory of a man in chains
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you're lonely
Well my
Down by the stream
Wouldn't you like to be
With the frogs and willow trees
Under the light
Of a warm summer night
The fireflies glow so bright
Now
into the ground
Hustle harder to see if indictment time came around
Now you can look up and down the streets and I can't be found
Put in twenty-four hour
When my heart is torn apart by love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city's lights
And things don't seem so bad
You know the movement
We walk on every city street
We walk in lanes where branches meet
And stars send down their blessings from the blue
We go through storms of doubt
If Pirus and Crips all got along
They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song
Seem like the whole city go against me
Every time I'm in
the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's
Oh, I can tell by the way that she walks,
She's a big city girl.
And I can tell by the way that she talks,
That she might even save the world.
Sitting in our rooftop garden, looking down below
Sitting in our rooftop garden, waiting for the sun
Isn't it lovely watching a plane go by?
What
My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps
And winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothin' on her back
If a building
(It's 'bout that time a year again!)
It was bumper to bumper when I hit that county
So I stopped and let the top down
Speakers where a bumpin',
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
don't pull us down. and if by chance we find that we've been run aground, we'll start a new life for ourselves where we've been
Lets go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk
Around and mumble
And stare out at the auburn sky
to the butchers we're just meat
I guess we're best left in a drawer
So the lions can eat some more
Thinking I could row you down
We'll use our hands for oars
Show
The New York City folks
Say I'm too country
The Grinny Village hippies
Call me square
But at the Long Horn barroom
Down in Dallas Texas
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 of joy
We'll go
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
walled out of the city
Clubbed down from uptown
Sprayed pest from the nest
Run out to barrio town (The guards are itchy)
Forced to watch at the feast
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 of joy
We'll go
