Luscious Jackson - City Song lyrics

rate me

I'm taking the side streets

and I'm cruising down the alleyways

and I'm feeling the cool breeze

across my face

I'm losing to find

and I'm breaking to fix

cause I'm not fit to go on like this

music in my head

the rhythm keeps me fed

these sounds surround me

in these in high frequencies

there's no place like home

there's no place like home

stone alone

in the city of bastard roots

When I'm about to go crazy

cause I'm still living here

I just get my friends together

and we dance, dance, dance

cause this is the state of the world

this is the state of the world

this city tells me what it's like to live

Hey bike messenger

what's your name?

Have you got the time

to talk to me?

Tell you what

We'll sit on this here stoop

and talk all about you

We'll just keep sitting here

til you roll on through.

chorus

cause this is the state of the world

cause this is the state of the world

Serpico he's still around

screwed up police ya might

get found

city crime's for city cops

you've got to know

the streets you rock

the subway tells the story here

this is the place to disappear

Cause this is the state of the world

and I'll die in my open mind

I live in my open mind

and I'll die in my open mind

I live in my open mind

and I'll die in my open mind

I live in my open mind

and I'll die in my open mind
