Switched On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've put on something you can't switch off
I won't buy, you won't cry
I know i will and you know how it feels
on the northside on the southside
they sing along when you switch on
You switch on for the city
long gone from the city
come on strong winds move on
you belong in the city
I'm long for the city
switch on a sad song when I'm gone
when in new york
I stay indoors go into the city
and switch up the pity
on the train someone says
something about how jesus saves
but I'm too lost to be found
you put on a good face, when i wasn't around
on the eastside
on the westside
they sing along when you switch on
they sing along when you switch on
You switch on for the city
long gone from the city
come on strong winds move on
you belong in the city
I'm long for the city
switch on a sad song when I'm gone
