"20th & Mississippi" lyrics

"20th & Mississippi"

Keep the town held down with cars
And flow into the city
Keep the night pinned up with stars
Twentieth and Mississippi

Find the warmest shade of white
And paint until I'm spinning
Second hand will suit me fine
I do not bear repeating

And I can't understand
How to live where I am
How to make this my home
How to be on my own

And I can't understand
Why I feel second hand
How to be on my own
How to be on my own

We stay behind the bars
I catch up on my reading
We take care of our looks
You still shiver after eating

Think I'd better take a wife
Before I start forgetting
Second hand city life
When we dance it's like a wedding

And I can't understand
How to live where I am
How to make this my home
How to be on my own

And I can't understand
Why I feel second hand
How to be on my own
How to be on my own
