City Song
Aeroplane fell, came right through my ceiling
American cheese on blackened telephone
I called up the office, said, "I'm not coming in"
They didn't know my name, I didn't know my name
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
This is the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
This is the city light
But the money came in, my creature of habit
The centre is missing, I feel like an ambulance
Oh, you are a woman and I am a man
We live in the city and we do what we can
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
Yeah, this is the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
Oh, this is the city light
How can you laugh at it if you don't know the joke?
Oh, please (you're not alone)
How hard can this be? (You're not alone)
Under the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
Under the city light
I see (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
Under the city light
Under the city light
American cheese on blackened telephone
I called up the office, said, "I'm not coming in"
They didn't know my name, I didn't know my name
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
This is the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
This is the city light
But the money came in, my creature of habit
The centre is missing, I feel like an ambulance
Oh, you are a woman and I am a man
We live in the city and we do what we can
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
Yeah, this is the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
Oh, this is the city light
How can you laugh at it if you don't know the joke?
Oh, please (you're not alone)
How hard can this be? (You're not alone)
Under the city light
Oh, please (you're not alone)
Cast light over me (you're not alone)
Under the city light
I see (you're not alone)
Cast light endlessly (you're not alone)
Under the city light
Under the city light
