Lyrics
N.S.E.W.
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.
A war's being waged and the world's just a stage (in this city)
Wear a gun and be proud, but bare breasts aren't allowed (liquidity)
Dream up a scam and then rake in the clams (in this city)
Have a quick throw or host your own show (liquidity)
(It's neither here nor there) It's neither here nor there
(North and south and east and west)
(Oughta to be somewhere) It oughta be somewhere
(North and south and east and west)
I take my payment, I catch my flight
Don't wait up for me tonight
(You might find me there) you might find me there
To a wolf from a lamb for just half a gram (in this city)
The face of today is a scalpel away (liquidity)
The guys with the brains are all bitter and vain (in this city)
Ah, the guys with the luck got the bimbos and bucks (liquidity)
(It's neither here nor there) It's neither here nor there
(North and south and east and west)
(It oughta to be somewhere) It oughta be somewhere
(North and south and east and west)
I take my payment, I catch my flight
And don't wait up for me tonight
(You might find me there) you might find me there
(North and south and east and west)
