City Screaming |
Been on the bus |
Since a quarter to one |
I’m baking like a chicken on the bus in the setting sun |
Home, home, home |
Under the window |
Is that a shot or a car? |
I don’t know |
I don’t know |
I don’t know |
The city smoke |
And city choke |
And crackin’open |
I hear the city screaming |
I hear the city screaming |
Twenty-four hours |
All night, all day |
The city hums and boils and cracks and bleeds away |
Stir them around |
Stick them over a fire |
No wonder everybody’s strung up tighter than a God-damn piano wire |
The city smoke |
And city choke |
And crackin’open |
I hear the city screaming |
I hear the city screaming |
Crack the Whip |
And mister Jack the Knife |
Were doing their trip on the corner underneath the streetlight late last |
night |
One of the homeboys |
Just take it on home sweet home |
Well, you can blow your own self away but leave the rest of us alone |
The city die |
And City cry |
dehumanizing |
I hear the city screaming |
I hear the city screaming |
I hear the city screaming |
