Summer In The 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.
summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
and I start to miss you, baby, sometimes
I've been staying up and drinking in a late night establishment
telling strangers personal things
summer in the city, I'm lonely lonely lonely
I went to a protest just to rub up against strangers
and I did feel like coming but I also felt like crying and it
doesn't seem so worth it right now
and the castrated ones stand in the corner smoking
they want to feel the bulges in their pants start to rise
at the site of a beautiful woman they feel nothing but
anger, her skin makes them sick in the night…nauseaous…
summer in the city, I'm so lonely lonely lonely
I've been hallucinating you, babe, at the backs of other women
and I tap them on the shoulder and they turn around smiling
but there's no recognition in their eyes
summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
and don't get me wrong, dear, in general I'm doing quite fine
it's just when it's summer in the city, and you're so long gone from the city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes
when it's summer in the city, and you're so long gone from the city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes…
