The City That Never Sleeps
I left my girl in vacation land, Now Virginia's barns burnback road memories red into my skin Like the southern sun. I left the trees for thetowers, The woods for the wealth,The streams for the streets, my friends for myself.It was a bad fucking idea. But we still sing... Ohh ohhh ohhhI learned it, i lived it, and now I'm gonna leave, but I won't regret it, It's just thatNew York City is not my friend. I just wanna go somewhere where I can rest my headWhere the streets are on fire, not just smoldering, somewhere like Atlanta.Well the streets aren't on fire just yet, but were lighting a motherfucking match. It wouldn't sink in,And so I tried, But everything that was real Just squeezed out the side, When Iclosed my eyes real tight. Im in the city that never sleeps ... And I'm fucking tired.All of the colors that rained down from the sky might as well have been explosionsOn the inside, that night before the fourth of July, By the naval yard on theNew Hampshire side. Jason played in the park, while I fumbled on my acoustic guitar behind a red door. But we both sang ohh ohhhh ohhhh
