lyrics

In The City

It’s just another Wednesday
Waiting on the rain
The vagrant on the corner
Is begging to fill her veins

And the cruise ship zombies take a stroll
Just to hear a little truth
An old guy at the checkerboard
Regrets his misplaced youth

And life moves on around us
As we walk this crazy race
We ramble, we amble
At someone else’s pace
In the city of good happenings

Cool dude on the gallery steps
He lights another smoke
Fancy pants who’s passing by
Is trying not to choke

And the coffee shop prophets
Are forecasting some hate
Racial slurs at 3pm
Try not to be too late

And life moves on around us
As we walk this crazy race
We ramble, we amble
At someone else’s pace
In the city of good happenings

Welcome all it’s a jubilee year
Says the sign sent from the Pope
I read the words and I walk on by
Not feeling too much
Not feeling too much.... hope
Not feeling too much hope

In the city
In the city
It’s my city
