Singing 'Bout The City - The Ark[00:00:01]
I was born and raised with the cross in my face[00:00:17]
And a mind that was set for pity[00:00:21]
Not fully grown I was left all alone[00:00:25]
That's the time I set my eyes on the city[00:00:29]
Where no cold wind sweep and no willow's weep[00:00:35]
And no singing in the treetops puts a child to sleep[00:00:39]
Where the ghosts and creeps[00:00:42]
Sad-eyed roam the streets[00:00:44]
And the best minds turning tricks[00:00:46]
For that sad and angry fix[00:00:48]
But now I'm through [00:00:50]
I'm through I'm through[00:00:52]
I'm through I'm through[00:00:56]
Singing 'bout the city[00:01:01]
(Singing 'bout the city [00:01:04]
Singing 'bout the city)[00:01:05]
I was all knocked down as I came to town[00:01:09]
I was smug as a bug and pretty[00:01:13]
I was led to believe that a little less self-esteem[00:01:16]
Was required to survive in the city[00:01:20]
In the high-end streets where the faces meet[00:01:25]
Who are daring for a sharing on the toilet seats[00:01:30]
But I've had my fill of cheap boudoir thrills[00:01:34]
Hallelujah - I am coming[00:01:38]
Bring the fattened calf and sing[00:01:40]
Now I'm through [00:01:42]
I'm through I'm through[00:01:44]
I'm through I'm through[00:01:47]
Singing 'bout the city[00:01:53]
(Singing 'bout the city [00:01:56]
Singing 'bout the city)[00:01:57]
In the summertime in the dry hot town[00:02:35]
Sun is high and ambition is low[00:02:39]
When the sewers seethe[00:02:43]
There's no air to breathe[00:02:45]
And when no place feels like home[00:02:48]
In the summertime in the countryside[00:02:52]
Where the birches and long grass grow[00:02:56]
And the small birds sing[00:03:00]
And the church-bell ring[00:03:03]
And the gentle warm winds blow[00:03:05]
I guess I really should have known[00:03:09]
There's only one place left to go[00:03:13]
This time I'm really coming home[00:03:17]
I'm gonna spread my wings[00:03:26]
Gonna leave everything[00:03:30]
Far behind that's unsound and shitty[00:03:32]
I'm free at last it's all in the past[00:03:36]
Fooling round like a clown in the city[00:03:40]
Where no pine and spruce[00:03:45]
Lend a home to the moose[00:03:48]
And no brown bears sleep[00:03:50]
And no rabbits snooze[00:03:53]
In the open wild you get warm and mild[00:03:54]
Turning playboys to the ploughboys[00:03:57]
That they are inside[00:03:59]
Where the green crops grow and the rivers flow[00:04:01]
Where lakes glitter small birds twitter[00:04:05]
Oh I sure could think of worse [00:04:07]
It's the Springsteen curse but this time it's in reverse[00:04:09]
Life's a pity in the city Hell [00:04:12]
What does Bruce know about spruce [00:04:15]
Oh I'm through I'm through I'm through[00:04:18]
I'm through I'm through [00:04:24]
I'm through I'm through[00:04:28]
I'm through [00:04:31]
Singing 'bout the city yeaheah[00:04:41]
