lyrics

Turn around, turn around Lights over your head
Drive faster, walk slower There's a devil on my shoulder
I don't mind, I don't mind Just a wasting my time
Jay-walking through the streets Pitter-patter of their feet
Brown hair, leather jacket And a bottle of wine
Sitting down, arms crossed Scattered visions are tossed
Riding green, pink and purple Don't know which one to take
I'll just pick a location Hope I get the motivation

Oh where did I go What did I leave Behind me
Ooh what did I do I left my soul In the city

There's a smell in the air Something catches your eye
There's a man selling franks On the corner of a bank
Looking here, looking there There are people everywhere
Park your car, get a ticket Grab a stamp, and you lick it
Take a train, take a bus But don't hop on too late
Looking left, looking right Someone's starting a fight
I can't see, I can't see They're all coming for me
If I blink even once They are sure to throw a punch
Gotta run, gotta run Gotta make it on time
Hold my head in the air Hold my head in the air
Take a hit off of this Dragging down by the toes
I'll have one, two or three That's just how the story goes
Oh my god, I'm alive Just get out of my head
Gotta get to my job Then I'll go home and sob
Well alright, well okay I suppose I can stay
Just a little while longer As the city gets stronger

Oh where did I go What did I leave Behind me
Ooh what did I do I left my soul In the city
