Meanwhile Back In the City

Lyrics

I was standing quiet alone in a crowded disco
 When a man I did not know showed me the door
 And told me I had to go
 Well that kind of humiliation never happens on farm
 That's why city living does the pysche such harm
 And I said
 Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire
 You gotta sleep on the floor
 Live in the mud
 There's no need to go higher
 Once you taste a brick you won't want more
 Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' outdoors
 Well it did not take me long to realise my mistake
 When garbage trucks messed up my dreams I knew my dreams were fake
 Don't know how people gonna live like this
 Pigeons might enjoy it but I cant live in this mess and I said
 Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire
 You gotta sleep on the floor
 Live in the mud
 There's no need to go higher
 Once you taste a brick you can't chew and talk
 Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' in a room the size of a shoebox
 So finally all the wires and plastic got to me
 Ideas and realisations were passing right through me
 I did not take a train a plane or bus with wings
 Man wasn't meant to fly
 Besides walking does the same thing: gets me outta here
 Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire
 You gotta sleep on the floor
 Live in the mud
 There's no need to go higher
 Oce you taste a brick you won't want more
 Saving sanity is a trick when you livin' on someone elses floor
 Hi, wazzup, how you doing, its good to see ya
 What's your name again, I cant remember
 Times up gotta go
