Lyrics In the City - Birth Control

In the City

Summer in the city
To be the bee’s knees
Bath of perspiration
A summer day dream
Dust the wind
An' clouding the sky, indeed
Smog’s familiar
We’re having the knack of it
In the city
Winter in the city
Sleigh-riding the street
Subway’s snug and cosy
Husbanding your feet
Coming home, go feeding the microwave
Current lights the warmth
Keeps link to the outer save
'Til infirmary
What will we be?
What will we be?
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound insane
'Til the end of day
'Til the end of day
Don’t you really wonder why
We are stuck in lullabies
Increasing sloping to a self-made scene
What will we be?
What will we be?
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day, yeah
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles instead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound, insane
'Til the end of day
