oddjobs - naked city lyrics

[hook x2: advizer, crescent moon, and both]
naked city’s getting colder (she needs to be covered)
i’m not the one to be taking pity (been feeling that way myself)
so let’s make the misery into something constructive
i ain’t faking sympathy for n0body else

[verse 1: nomi]
it’s time to explore, not like no conquistador
when the season hit four and the floor get cold
yo, later, procrastinator
how’d you get there? well, i rode on a piece of paper
how you doing, how you been, is your kin living well?
ever built that ship in the bottle of gin
we were sipping upon till the break of dusk
talking bout bongs, jesus, and eternal trust?
dionne warlock chilled on my block
why do immigrants love 80’s glam rock?
just a few things to motivate the moving
saw de mira in the mirror, he didn’t do a d+mn thing
why fear a city where the women look like pam grier?
packed up my gear, nuts, and was outta there
ballpark estimate for the recklessness
naughty by nomi sports his heart as a necklace

[verse 2: crescent moon]
let’s start the day off right, not quite? i can’t complain
i got food in my stomach, i got blood in my veins
and the boots on my feet cross streets and switch lanes
then i bump into dude begging me for spare change
i’m fair game, i ain’t rude but every time i see the brother
i give him a dollar and he asks for another
i know he’s seen more nights than i’ve seen days
i just lower my head and go about my way
sometimes he tells jokes, does a dance and a song
i just want to cuss him out, go tell him to get a job
but what can i say? the man brightens my day
besides, a dollar’s such a small price to pay
the clouds hang low for me, i’m gonna leave
on a whim when the wind sings a hymn for the seven seas
but the melody is heavenly, it never leaves my side
you’ll never be ahead of me, my pedigree survives
i steadily rise, never fly with wax wings
if the recipe’s right, won’t be drowning in the black sea
i never met him, just heard that the sun is clever
since forever, been waiting til we can come together
oh shnaps, it hit me like a ton of feathers
the crescent moon can only come out once the sun is severed
quite odd, it’s like god’s hitting a light switch
the sun works the day and i cover the night shift
[hook x2: crescent moon, advizer, and both]
naked city’s getting colder (she needs to be covered)
i’m not the one to be taking pity (been feeling that way myself)
so let’s make the misery into something constructive
i ain’t faking sympathy for n0body else

[verse 3: advizer]
it’s as transparent as the skin of my grandparents
so i’ve abandoned my merits, now i stand staring
from a mountain top counting all the tributaries
looking like my capillaries, empty like the faces of my adversaries
i’ve seen more lonely faces than team pictures in trophy cases
at my old place of education, dedicate this one to nomi making
me smile with freestyles, acting ill and bugging out
content as long as i’m standing still above the ground
puffing clouds of thought over my head like cartoon bubbles
subtle like a dove’s cluck lovestruck by barstool troubles
there’s so many ways to pose em, so many dead end solutions
i’m bound to try em out and rhyme about em for amus+m+nt
you deem it sacred till i take it and reduce it just to rap
make a humble man of the cat thinking he’s messiah coming back
understand every rhyme is null and void, just a polaroid
of thoughts that if you fix yourself on, your whole world’s destroyed

[hook x2: advizer and crescent moon]
naked city’s getting colder (she needs to be covered)
i’m not the one to be taking pity (been feeling that way myself)
so let’s make the misery into something constructive
i ain’t faking sympathy for n0body else
