themselves - this about the city too lyrics

[intro]
okay, let’s kick this whole thing off
with a little public announcement
don’t worry, this won’t be here
next time you listen this
the city is our worked out version
of the wild kingdom compartmentalized
it’s straw huts on acid
and slave drivers
these little stacks of squares
and squares with twists in stacks
we piled over mother nature’s bubs
why, it’s make believe
and die when you’re done dealing
now let’s show a little decency
on the or as a whole
one what you name it
city bus or solar system

[verse 1]
the intro, one
cannot live alone in cities
this is a common judgment error
or non+belief which happens and hardens all too often
it’s a symptoms world that makes city life (?)
for instance i find it ludicrous and wasteful
that i’m not on a first name basis with the same ten folks
that catch our bus to work each morning
[bridge]
when the world sets on fire, everyone will:
“help me, help me, help me, help me”
when the world sets on fire, everyone will:
“help me, help me, help me, help me”
when the world sets on fire, everyone will:
“help me, help me, help me, help me”

[verse 2]
gypsy told me so his hung full of death in my face (?)
while jeff and i hid quiet on the bus
his crows feet rotten t++th and made me feel self+conscious
penny for your thought which pulled a mask
and all the people of the tuesday bus
fell one lonely story from their face
gypsy got us got us all with our+
with our own doing
he’s the homeless man
he does not live alone

[break]
this has got to stop
and if it doesn’t you just wait and hear what happens
here’s what happens
sometimes people make their face like this in the city
[verse 3]
aaaah!
two: you can’t say you don’t know
how as you get older how you need
someone or place or thing that did it for you
who knew
you meet a good one+hundred eyes a day or even more
that’s around fifty people average on the daily in the city
not a whole lot i might add
and the ones you met before you stop and talk to
now i know not always, some are bad
but the rest you let go past
no matter how much it felt
like you had in common, past
could they have been a friend?
and we don’t meet these people
out of fear or fear of fear
or lack of love or quality
a human kind of x+ray vision
it’s a shame, a homemade belief shut+faced shame (poor people)
now i can’t say i know of a cure, developed it
or am on the team that’s on it, day and night
aaaah!

[bridge]
world peace is like a fountain of youth
you can lead a horse to water
but you can’t make it you
world peace is like a fountain of youth
you can lead a horse to water
but you can’t make it you
that’s right, world peace is like a fountain of youth
you can lead a horse to water
but you can’t make it you
[verse 4]
three: there is no three, or one or two for that matter
and i lied before, about the intro
because this is all public announcement
of the meant unsaid and kept behind doors
let it be said b+tterfly
someone once said: “being part of something means
there’s something all around you, city, bus, or solar system”
someone once said: “there are little things one can do
believe, to make happen better”
abide by what it’s all about
the electricity or live endings
which are sometimes as large as sunsets
or just like human contact

[bridge]
high fives are underrated
and life’s underappreciated in many ways
by many different kinds of people
good people check
what’s the difference
between different kinds of people?
all the secrets and house keys, of course
high fives are underrated
and life’s underappreciated in many ways
by many different kinds of people
good people check
what’s the difference
between different kinds of people?
all the secrets and house keys, of course

[verse 5]
appreciate what is worth saving
less bank, more world
the bus is on it’s way
say, where’s the love? hey!
i accept phone numbers
and opinions and the fact that
not everyone wants smiles and eye contact
go on there look back, don’t look back
court of h+llos and squares
or squares with twists in stacks
not everyone wants smiles and eye contact
go on there look back, don’t look back
court of h+llos and squares
or squares with twists in stacks

[break]

[verse 6]
you can’t tell me
that a main drag at 3 o’clock a.m
with all it’s going traffic lights and silent city hum
doesn’t remind you of a seashore
that’s just life, ants eat right on grass
or sidewalk cracks, or grass in sidewalk cracks
playing kids like passing cars
outside your window
have a certain harmony about them
it’s the sound of shifting bricks
at night going traffic lights
that’s just life
it’s the sound your face makes in your head
that seash+ll seashore sound
that silent city hum

[outro]
a man is died
a baby’s born
it heard a plane flew
it flew over broadway
