In The City

from Peel by Peel

/

lyrics

in the city windsor knots are knocking you off of the sidewalk
droves storming down the sidewalk
when you're living in the city they've got girls, girls in golden stilettos
who never stop to say hello when they're locking into line

good bye to the neon tambourines hello city machine
seeing every different color of jean
and you wake up in the evening, your neighbors they never know that you're right

but you got a million reasons to fight

when you're living in the city sundown lights up drive west walk left bus stop green go eyes open so you can hurry along with the people in the city

so long to those dusty roads and windy sheets in the summer

heat breathing back off your neck
and you drive home in the morning
the clicking clock, staring you down as you hurry along, and you know when the sun goes down you'll be gone
