Lyrics

City
Cristopher Lucas

You said, ?Writing letters is much better than calling on the phone.?
I said, ?I know, what?cha doin? still in California when you could be on your own??
You said, ?I know.?

So we stood on the corner for a minute or two
Could?ve been five years for all I said
Ain?t one day when I don?t think of you and I?m steamin? through my regret

Could?ve let you know me but I was scared
And now I?m still lonely

But that?s the way it goes in the city
My my

Check it out with the suitcase mama
I see your face across the street
My palace on Broadway, I look west but I?m thinking east
Sippin? on a sidewalk Johnny I?m goin? straight to the eye
Battened down the hatches, rubbin? on night side

Don?t think you know me and I?m sure you?re scared
But do you think you can hold me?

That?s the way it goes in the city
My my

[rap]
If I?m walkin? up Broadway I?m walkin? up the west side
Cause in the city the pretty chickies makin? me feel like I wanna let it slide
I used to walk the Ramble through the park west to east
Gotsta get out in the daylight for just a few minutes or two at least
Tip back my head, look up to the sky and see the suns last rays
The city?s kickin? this little smile as it closes up just one more day

This city smiles it?s just a day
That?s the way it goes
