A Different City

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 wanna live in the city with no friends and family

I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV

I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me

I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV

Through the cracks in the wall, slow motion for all

Dripped out of the bars, someone smart said nothin' at all

I'm watching TV, I guess that's a solution

They gave me a receipt that said I didn't buy nothin

So rust is a fire and our blood oxidizes

My eyes rolled around, all around on the carpet

Oh, hit the deck, it's the decal man

Standin' upside down and talkin' out of his pants

I wanna live in the city with no friends and family

I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV

I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me

I'm gonna look out the window of my color TV

Through the cracks in the wall, slow motion for all

Dripped out of the bars, someone smart said nothin' at all

I'm watching TV, I guess that's a solution

They gave me a receipt that said I didn't buy nothin

So rust is a fire and our blood oxidizes

My eyes rolled around, all around on the carpet

Oh, hit the deck, it's the decal man

Standin' upside down and talkin' out of his pants

Through the cracks in the wall, slow motion for all

Left holding the ball and a part for your car
