Lyrics
One Man No 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.
Where I'm from, well no one lived there
I look back now, nothing's changed
Where I'm from now, still no one lives there
Look back again and lock the door
Yeah, I maintain, I still remain
One man solitary and no city
One man solitary and no city
One man solitary and no city
Cogito ergo sum, people say
But think again 'cause I have no faith
I find building blocks filled with nothing
Seen an ink blot page and I said nothing
Outside? I'll check it out it's just a mirror
Look back now! An empty page
Yet I maintain, I still remain
One man solitary and no city
One man solitary and no city
One man solitary and no city
No town and no city
No identity and no city
No thoughts, no feelings and no city
No, you just me I think and no city
No words I speak and no city
No outside and no city
Nothing at all and no city
No way home and no city
No relief and no city
No sympathy and no city
No understanding and no city
There's no one else and no city
Yet I maintain, I still remain
One man solitary and no city
