Livin' in the City

from The Sugar Man by Timatim Fitfit

/

lyrics

We're living in the city like an enormous mouth
I hope it doesn't start swallowing
We're part of a following
Us and them we go to shows
Try to beat each other to the punch.
Our friends are like family
We don't see them very much
And when we do
The alcohol covers the awkwardness up
Tonight will be frivolous
We're dead set on that
After the week we've had we're all a little out of breath.
Maybe one day we'll move on
Maybe one day we'll move on.
Taxidermies in your basement
The smell of borax fills the room
I wish I could be resurrected
Like your little gray loon
There are pigeons all around me
They don't give a shit
Whether my life has meaning
Of if I drown in it
Throw back all the curtains
I don't want to sleep all day
But sometimes for survival there's just no other way
We drove out to the country
To breath that country air
We were deafened by the roar of silence from the moment we got there.
Maybe one day we'll move on,
Maybe one day we'll move on.
Catching the tail end of a hurricane as it blows up the coast
I look outside my window and see the skies are filled with ghosts
Memories of a past life when it was plain to see
We could be anything and everything we wanted to be.
But we're living in the city, like an enormous mouth
And we're going to stay here until we figure things out
But if we should flee, go back to where it all began,
I want you to know, we can always come back again.
I want you to know, you can always go back again.
