"City Is Taken" lyrics

When moving from Kingston to King's County
I fell on city block in a snow fall scene
Represent the tide, how did I murder, murder, murder?
Then I role-played romantic histories
Of my Bohemia versus industry
Thought I was such a revolutionary
I thought city is taken, but not by me
City is taken, but not me

We're all jesters, yes, but for a cause
A spector on spectator's door
Left a hollow ring on rock 'n' roll, roll, roll
When you play up the hand of mystery
Of single mind against community
You think you're such a revolutionary
You think city is taken, but not by me
City is taken, but not me

Chase is not my friend, yet he follows me from every corner
My footsteps are worth more than my music
To be a muse, to use and be used
Now I'm amused at my naïveté
Just another pawn in the game
Just another one and the same

The gray-haired anointed prophet preached
To the garden of the gainly employed
Singing, "Buy this remaster, praise the past ever after"
Pack your bags and move to Detroit
Oh, pack your bags and move to Detroit
The gray-haired anointed prophet preached
To the garden of the gainly employed
Singing, "Buy this remaster, praise the past ever after"
Pack your bags and move to Detroit
Oh, pack your bags and move to Detroit
