Meanwhile Back In The City Songtext
I was standing quite alone
In a crowded disco
When a man I did not know
Came up to me and tole me I had to go
Well that kind of humiliation never happens on the farm
That's why city livin' does the psyche such harm

And I said
Fire escapes dont work
Until theres a fire
You gotta sleep on the floor, live in the mud, there's no need to go higher
Once you taste a brick
You wont want more
Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' Outdoors

Well it did not take me long to realize my mistake
When garbage trucks messed up my dreams
I knew my dreams were fake
Don't know how people gonna live like this
Pigeons might enjoy it but I cant live in this mess

And I said
Fire escapes don't work
Until theres a fire
You gotta sleep on the floor, live in the mud, there's no need to go higher
Once you taste a brick
You can't chew and talk
Saving sanity is a trick when your livin' in a room the size of a shoebox

So finally all the wires and plastic got to me
Ideas and realizations were passing right through me
I did not take a train a plane or bus with wings
Man wasn't meant to fly
Besides walking does the same; gets me outta here

And i said
Fire escapes don't work
Until theres a fire
You gotta sleep on the floor, live in the mud, there's no need to go higher
Once you taste a brick you wont want more
Saving sanity is a trick when you livin on someone else's floor

Hi wazzup how you doing its good to see ya whats your name again I cant remember
Times up gotta go
