"City Song" lyrics

"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)
Yea, 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
Under the city light
I see

Cast light, endlessly
(You're not alone)
Under the city light

Under the city light
