Lyrics
Urban
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.
Sometimes living for the moment
Sometimes going with the flow
Sometimes professing to be an exponent
Of the quiet life
While night life
Surrounds me i sit
And go crazy alone
Too many people and too little action
Too much exterior acting too little inside
Yet i still feel that mani attraction
I've lived in the city for most of my life
And suppose
I'll be there when i die
Still going through the same old motions
Still qualifying everything i say
Responding urbanely to every emotion
The city life freaks me
The city life feeds me
The city life blows me away
