The City will eat you up if you stop thinking for just one minute.
Its pretty if you look up, but brother don't get lost in it.
The heat is slowing your mission, clouding your ambition, bringing you down.
You're in the streets and your wishin' for an air-conditioned apartment uptown.
Everybody's scared to talk to one another and if I did… what would I say?
Be like “hey baby, baby, can I give you a call? I can't believe how late this train is!” or “isn't it a dreadful day?”
What can I say? It's like, one more day in this city is gonna make me mean.
I got crushes on girls that I've never seen.
One more day in the city. One more day is gonna drive me crazy.
My brakes are broke. My life's a joke. The seats kinda' sticky were I spilt my coke.
I don't drive it a lot, (well, do you blame me or not?)
Roll down the window man it's too damn hot!
The plush seats release dust when you sit down.
It was worse when it was brown but now it's green.
Green like a toad, it 0hugs the road like an ex-girlfriend…
barely touching with a tense distance. You know what I'm saying?
You know, one more day in this city one more day is gonna drive me crazy.
Wherever you're at, wherever you are, you can't go far without the N and the R.
I said wherever you're at, wherever you are, you can't go far without the N and the R.
