Twin Cities |
Now we’re in twin cities |
Where the Mississippi rises and then falls |
One is Minneapolis and the other no less famous is St. Paul’s |
There are stray dogs on the highway |
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain |
When the winds blew last winter I swear England had another hurricane |
Hurricane… |
And we are twin cities, and we are that river |
From the standing still, we will be delivered |
Last time in New York was with Mandela and Madonna and The Mets |
For icons of an era, well, that’s about as famous as it gets |
(That's what I call famous, babe) |
I’ve seen cities full of ticker-tape, and cotton-trains through Utah |
disappearing out of sight |
But I’m standing in a city that’s as pretty as an ocean in the night |
And we are twin cities, and we are that ocean |
From the standing still, we are set in motion |
And no one calls me up to say «How long are you going to be away? |
(Are you ever coming back?) Yeah yeah… (Are you ever coming back?) |
No one calls me up to say «Don't let that life lead you astray? |
(Don't forget to come back) Yeah! |
(Don't forget to come back) |
They were rioting in Detroit on the night the Pistons won it back to back |
I was out of there the next day, and I only had just two bags to pack |
And we are twin cities, and we are one river |
From the standing still, we will be delivered |
And we are twin cities, and we are one ocean |
From the standing still, we are set in motion |
Yeah… |
We are twin cities… |
We are one river… (We… are… twin… cities…) |
One ocean… |
We are twin cities… (We… are… twin… cities…) |
We are one river… Yeah… |
One ocean… |
We… are… twin… cities… one ocean… |
