City on the Hill Songtext
von Them Bird Things

What if I like booze
What if I like pills
I like moments
I don′t feel

You can lay on my bed
And polish the brass
You can butter my bread
And kiss my ass
I've been drunk
I′ve been driven
I ain't forgotten
And I ain't forgiven


And that shining city
On the top of the hill
Last best beacon of hope
A hangman′s knot
And length of rope

Once they called me kid
Now my name is Lizzie
And I′ve loved them large and tall
Like them small and skinny
If you can't keep a wife
Come nearer
Get a rearview mirror

′Cause of all the bottles
In the whole wide world
There ain't a one
Like the bottle of mine

I′ll cream your corn
And settle your hash
I'll blow your horn
All others pay cash
