well here i am yah im back again in the town that i used to call my residence now it seems i drown in the civil van you might have seen it once, yah its parked out front but homecoming used to be a sweeter event i'd be swimming to the arms of a lover there, today there doesn't seem to be a dance for me, just a couch at todd's house, and jim me and the tv the house is empty the shadows are growing tall. i guess the book shelves and paintings in this house dust begins to fall this city has abandoned me its forgotten who i am the landscape change its shape the streets twist and bend until i've lost my direction oh oh oh i woke up late to the sound of drums so i headed downstairs to see what was going on roger was playing to a metronome, he said its just not right man, it's got no soul... i told him what my sister said in chicago "boy, you've made a choice you've got to uphold, i know mom said its a variable, but when your just to right you've got to be alone." so the house is empty and thats how it has to be so i better not complain i guess its best for me, but the city keeps haunting me like the house on lafayette it was built for world war vet's we laughed as said "how appropriate" Who do you think of When you think of the city...? Mostly, i think of you you're the peants at their city you're the two way big at lewi's you're the monday nights at Sullivan's you're underground not hiding you're the dogtrap you're the devil you're the forty-niner's shuffleboard you're the big beard at the underwood you're the brothers you're the drug store well i miss this city, i miss this city, ohh i miss this city, i miss this city, (well, here i am yah im back again) (in the town that i used to call my residence now it seems i drown in the civil van) i miss this city, (you might have seen it once, yah its parked out front, but homecoming used to be a sweeter event) ohh i miss this city, (i'd be swimming to the arms of a lover there) i miss this city, (today there doesn't seem to be a dance for me) ohh i miss this city, (just a couch at todd's house, and jim me and the tv) i miss this city |
