City Looks Pretty

Lyrics

The city looks pretty when you been indoors
 For 23 days I've ignored all your phone calls
 
 Everyone's waiting when you get back home
 They don't know where you been, why you gone so long
 Friends treat you like a stranger and
 Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well
 
 Spare a thought for the ones that came before
 All in a daze bending backwards to reach your goal
 ♪
 Sometimes I get sad
 It's not all that bad
 One day, maybe never
 I'll come around
 ♪
 The city takes pity on your injured soul
 And heavenly prose ain't enough good to fill that hole
 
 Everyone's soaked in animosity
 It's vicious in winter, you never say what you mean
 Friends treat you like a stranger and
 Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well
 
 Wakin' up to another dismal day
 You got a ways to go, you oughta be grateful
 ♪
 Sometimes I get mad
 It's not half as bad
 Pull yourself together
 And just calm down
 ♪
 I'll be what you want, oh when you want it
 ♪
 But I'll never be what you need
 ♪
 And the city looks pretty from where I'm standing
 
 The city looks pretty when you been indoors
 For 23 days I've ignored all your phone calls
 
 Everyone's waiting when you get back home
 They don't know where you been, why you gone so long
 Friends treat you like a stranger and
 Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well
 
 Spare a thought for the ones that came before
 All in a daze bending backwards to reach your goal
 ♪
 Sometimes I get sad
 It's not all that bad
 One day, maybe never
 I'll come around
 ♪
 The city takes pity on your injured soul
 And heavenly prose ain't enough good to fill that hole
 
 Everyone's soaked in animosity
 It's vicious in winter, you never say what you mean
 Friends treat you like a stranger and
 Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well
 
 Wakin' up to another dismal day
 You got a ways to go, you oughta be grateful
 ♪
 Sometimes I get mad
 It's not half as bad
 Pull yourself together
 And just calm down
 ♪
 I'll be what you want, oh when you want it
 ♪
 But I'll never be what you need
 ♪
 And the city looks pretty from where I'm standing
