about

inspired by the opening scenes of the film 'Midnight Cowboy'

lyrics

I'm in the city, struggling to find my feet
Moving through the train cars, where'd you find a seat?
Well save me from my stupor, and let's get a bite to eat

I came here last week, with all my dreams intact
Bought a one-way ticket, intending to never go back
Just like Joe Buck and his radio, going round and round the track

Well if you see a space, please go and take it for me
I've got a mean head, of all this noise I'd give my life to be free
And shake, shake, shake me from my compounded misery
(that's why I came here)

I'm eating something tasty, strictly nutrition-free
It's going down a storm, all seems fine to me
But inside my guts are suffering, might need a pill or 3

Well get out of my way, I've got things to do and people to see
Moving at breakneck speed, got no time to look around and see
Well nature is fine but I've got a concrete cage and endless coffee
(well, we all need a drug)

City blues, ohhhhh, city blues
So much life here, can't find a way to choose
Well the clouds are turning rainy, seeps right down to my shoes
(they're made in China)

I've had enough of this madness, hearing voices from home
Come back soon son, you can't leave us here all alone
So like Joe I'm gonna find a job, put on a suit, be normal, skim some stones

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
