lyrics

Living in the city is so beautiful
Watching the fire fall from my rooftop
Deeper into my subconscious
I suppress that fire
Gonna get drunk today
It’s only every once in a while
I mean, come on, how long can you expect someone
To live on the corner of a highway and the corner
Of a construction site
Gonna get drunk today
Only every now and again
Living in the city is so beautiful
When you’ve got a partner and a room
A waterfall, a river of meaning
When you’ve got a partner and a room
But don’t expect it to last
Your landlord’s gonna kick you out
And your partner is gonna kick you out too
Living in the city is so beautiful
When you’re all alone sitting on that bench
Looking out at some family
When you’re all alone on that bench
And the wind is kissing your cheek
That brief communion of the ether and flesh
Yeah it’s cold outside and your tears are warm
For everyone lost
For everyone lost
Living in the city is so beautiful...
