Lyrics Back to the City - The Guess Who

Back to the City

Beware of lies
They’ll always take you by surprise
Bringing pieces of pain
You’ll maybe never sleep again
Me and sailor working on a secret relation
Down in the soda sunlight
Picked up on a jug and my calendar sweetheart
And we were rocking lightly
We really got to rocking lightly
Deep, deep down that’s where I belong
Sweet street light never done me no wrong
I’m going back, back, back to the city
So beware of man
He’ll never tell you where you stand
Bringing pieces of pain
You’ll maybe never sleep again
Tinker, tailor, sailor, mailer
Bows and buttons
Thank you all for reason
Meet me in the alley where the road gets dark
And we’ll be rocking lightly
Deep, deep down that’s where I belong
Sweet street light never done me no wrong
I’m going back, back, back to the city
