"The City" lyrics
"The City"
The city keeps on going on
Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay
Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I
Haven't slept in a week
But it don't seem to matter to the subway speakers squeaking at my feet
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling on
Grand Central Station got a windy coming down
Independence yesterday, ain't no one around
Oh I still recognize her after all these years
She still looks the same
Oh, she still looks the same
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
Oh, we just keep on rolling
Rolling on
Rolling on
When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard
Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off
We're just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark's
Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face
She was just kissing my face
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
Again, again, again
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
Oh, we just keep on rolling
Rolling on
Rolling on
Just when I was sick and down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain
We were riding on the train
Just when I was sink and down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain
We were riding on the train
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Just waving goodbye

Matt Hires - "Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song" Maybe I'm blind, maybe I'm blind
Oh, I couldn't see you shine
And shimmer right in front of my eyes
Front of my eyes, oh no
I never saw light, never saw light
All I saw were faded mirrors
And dim...
Great Lake Swimmers - "Don't Leave Me Hanging" You had different hair when I saw you last
You flew away, flew and you could have far
But you did fight, you went so many rounds
Delivered one shot at a time
Don't leave me hanging, don't leave me...
Matt White - "Love And Affection" Guess I'll be waitin' for the time that I'm sayin'
That I'm ready to come back home
While the world seems so crazy and you're angry
And I tell you this is rightfully so

The Weepies - "World Spins Madly On" Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do
Like...
Ray LaMontagne - "Lesson Learned" Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
That you...
