Meanwhile Back in the City - (Demo)

Lyrics

Well, I 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 livin' does the pysche such harm
 And I said
 Fire escapes don't work - until there's 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's 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
 I don't know how people - gonna live like this
 Pigeons might enjoy it but I - can't live in this mess
 And I said
 Fire escapes don't work until there's 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's a 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 walkin' does the same thing: gets me outta here
 Fire escapes don't work until there's 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's a trick when you livin' on someone elses floor
 Hi
 What's up?
 How you doin'?
 It's good to see ya
 What's your name again?
 I can't remember
 Time's up
 I gotta go
