canasta - slow down chicago lyrics

Loading...

i’d like to ask this town to slow down
selfish, i know
but i think it’s come to this
i’m losing my breath and i’d take a break
if i thought i could
but the things i’ve been doing
to keep this town moving
would surely be missed

from the corner of state and madison, i cried
“chicago slow down”
a few folks glanced over
but none broke their stride
that’s when i found

this town it breathes on its own
with or without me
the skyline wakes up whether or not i get out of bed
“l” trains, they rumble along
and headlines will happen with no help from me
and when i can’t keep it all up
i’ll sing, “la, la, la, la, la”

it k!lls me to ask a thing of this town
not mine alone
a burden i’d hate to be
i’m losing my step
and as i fall back
my life is living itself
but the seeds i’ve been sowin’
could keep this town goin’
if only she’d wait for me

from the 95th floor, i looked out and i prayed
“chicago slow down”
but the teeming streets shrugged off
the plea that i had made
that’s when i found

this town it breathes on its own
with or without me
the skyline wakes up whether or not i get out of bed
“l” trains, they rumble along
and when i can’t keep it all up
and i can’t keep up
i’ll sing out a song, said “la, la, la, la”
