Nothing Going On 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.
I hate to say it but I'm going insane
With all this useless messing around
Of course it has always been the same
I had to go and turn it on
Now tell me, boy, didn't I see you before?
You were the one that I was after
Slap in the face and then a slam of the door
This town is a fucking disaster
I got some loot in my hand
And I don't know where I'm going
These fools are nothing
There's a rocking little place
Just waiting for a chicky
I got to find that place
Nothing going on in the city
Oh isn't it a pity
I should have stayed away, I'm stuck in the mud
So what's the use of returning?
Now I should prove myself a stud
I got the fire burning
I got some loot in my hand
And I don't know where I'm going
These fools are nothing
There's a rocking little place
Just waiting for a chicky
I got to find that place
Nothing going on in the city
Oh isn't it a pity
I could be good to you when I get to you
But there ain't no fun any more
Throwing monkeys just like junkies
I guess it won't be too hard to score
And there's nothing that I can do
I'm looking for you
Nothing going on in the city
Nothing going on in the city
Nothing going on in the city
Nothing going on in the city
