Town & Country

[00:05.78] I'm in the city and the sirens are screaming
[00:08.04] All day and night long where it's 24/7
[00:10.10] I'm on a mission, I'm in the city, I'm here
[00:16.36] I been in the country, out on an island
[00:19.07] I feel good now, I'm damn near smiling
[00:21.91] I'm in the city, I can hardly believe that I'm here
[00:27.59] I took the train, when I got to the station
[00:29.68] I felt a release, you could say it was elation
[00:32.39] Just to be back in the city with all of you people down here
[00:38.02] Thousands of faces I never seen
[00:40.80] Out of my mind in a fever dream
[00:43.63] I'm in the city with all of you people down here
[00:48.90] Behind those masks there's all those faces
[00:51.56] I'm so excited seeing parking spaces
[00:54.32] There's talking, and there's laughing, and there's screaming, and there's singing down here
[01:00.23] I'm in the city, you better believe it
[01:02.56] I'm done with the country, no fun, I had to leave it
[01:05.30] The crickets made me nervous, I'm in the city I'm here
[01:10.81] Last night we ate in a restaurant
[01:13.25] Fine wine, good food, all that we wanted
[01:16.20] Just like in the old days sittin' round havin' us a meal
[01:21.75] But there was a moment that was a little unstable
[01:24.33] A rat big as a cat ran under the table
[01:26.98] I guess the rats are all happy, there's plenty to eat down here
[01:31.23]
[01:54.31] A couple of drunkards on a subway train
[01:56.84] Made me feel right at home, no, not much changes
[01:59.82] When you're in the city, bright lights look pretty down here
[02:05.33] I was afraid I might feel a little empty
[02:08.02] But now that I'm here, go on and tempt me
[02:10.84] I'm here to get tempted here to get rid of that fear
[02:16.49] My dear mother was afraid of the city
[02:18.71] She'd say, "Don't go there Loudie, it's shady and it's shitty"
[02:21.79] She was raised in the country, what could that poor woman know?
[02:27.59] My father went to town, he was a workin' slob
[02:30.46] Getting into trouble was his other job
[02:32.95] 'Cause finding a trouble in the city that's why folks go
[02:36.29] Alright, let's go
[02:38.57]
[03:00.24] Tomorrow morning I'll be back on that train
[03:03.01] Getting to the station, I'm going insane
[03:05.60] Get me out of this city, it's a little too crazy for me
[03:11.56] I need trees, some water clean
[03:13.63] I want to fit a fireplace in a rocking chair
[03:16.63] Thought I knew best, the city's too shitty for me
[03:21.15] Well, I'm in the city and the sirens are screaming
[03:24.59] All day and night long, 24/7
[03:27.55] I'm on a mission, I'm in the city, I'm here
[03:32.88] Been in the country, stuck on an island
[03:35.45] I feel good now, I'm damn near smiling
[03:39.45] I'm in the city, I can hardly believe I'm here
[03:52.60]
