City Songtext
von Thao & the Get Down Stay Down

No, no, nobody knows, where all the money goes
Hearts, thieves, and overcoats drift away in smaller boats
And I know that when I leave, in the middle of the heat
Keep the insides you would eat just to keep from feeling weak

Go anywhere, I will not follow
I′ve seen the end and it treats me well
I caught your name off the lips of the bottle
Humming the hum that you thought you just thought of now


That is my city
In the shame, those are my friends
Inside, if I lay still through this
Shame if I rest too
That is my city
In the shame, my friends fixin'
Inside, if I lay still through this
Shame if I rest too
That is my city and that is my city
And that is my city (rest and be strong)
In shame (wash and be clean)

Start a new year, whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year, whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year, whenever you need
