Lyrics Dreaming of the City - Kid Dakota

Dreaming of the City

At dusk, the stars feel awkward
They’re so hesitant to shine
And late at night when we’re all tired and sleeping
They light the world that we leave behind
And lately i’ve been chasing comets
In a spaceship on TV
While you go out at night
You get piss drunk and comment
On how much you mean to me
And there’s something i wanna tell you
But it’s so difficult to say
'cause baby, the words sound like we’re talking underwater
When you’re so, when you’re so far away
Well, if i only had a gutter
Well, i could catch it when it falls
But my basement’s slowly filling up with water
It’s running down the concrete walls
And you could say it’s been a bad year
And you’d be saying something true
Well it’s almost like, it’s almost like
A cheap print of a picasso painting
One with seven shades of blue
And i’ve been dreaming of the city
What a wonderful place to be
I’ve been dreaming of the city
But the city, the city doesn’t dream of me
Yeah the city, the city’s gonna let me be
I’m almost out of here
No more wasting time watching the weather channel
I’m almost out of here
No more reading the road maps
See, i’m ready to travel
I’m almost out of here
I’ve been on my best behavior
I’m putting puzzles together with my grandmas
I’m almost out of here.
i’m almost out of
South dakota, south dakota
Almost
Well i miss the city lights
Well i miss the city lights
Well i miss the city
Fights that we used to have
Well i miss the city lights
