Lyrics by Susan MacKarness

I see you man, we both exist
But can you show your heart
Take away that mask of stone
And smile just for a start
Yesterday the sky was blue
And I felt my spirits rise
But everywhere I turned was cold
And all I heard were lies
Living in the city can really bring you down
I'd rather get some land and leave this golden town
Living in the city really brings you down
I'm gonna get some land
and leave this bloody golden town
We're all here for a few years
To live and fight for life
I've seen so many souls who've lost their way
Down these lonely streets tonight
I'll have to leave here very soon
If I want to feel again
I've tried so hard to get through
But all I got was pain
Living in the city can really bring you down
I'd rather get some land and leave this golden town
Living in the city really brings you down
I'm gonna get some land
and leave this bloody golden town
Did you see that lovely face?
Notice that lonely old man?
Watch those flowers growing tall
I'm running, catch me if you can
Yes, this has been too much for me
I don't want whatever it's got
I'll flee into the other life
Where money's out and feeling's not
Living in the city can really bring you down
I'd rather get some land and leave this golden town
Living in the city really brings you down
I'm gonna get some land
and leave this bloody golden town
