Back in the city again
Like is fish caught on a thread
Tumble and twist all the night
Too much in my head
Playing it over and over
Goddamn ache in my shoulder
Finally sleep takes the wheel
But then the story just gets wilder
August heat settled in
Breaking my will, I stay in
Drowning in wet head and din
Back in the city again
Brew up some tea, give me energy
Something to cure this lethargy
And dreams that keep roping me
Back to the city again
Suddenly waking at night
Before even the first light
Is this the right way to go?
How long can we live in this limbo
All of this energy
I need to move and let it run free
Instead of turning my days inside out
Mmm
Back in the city again
Like a fish caught on a thread
Tumble and twist all the night
Too much in my head
Playing it over and over
Goddamn ache in my shoulder
Finally sleep takes the wheel
But then the story just gets wilder
I won’t let this pull me under
I won’t let you pull me under
Like Dorothy on the run
Like Dorothy on the run
All of this energy
I need to move and let it run free
Instead of turning my days inside out
I won’t let this pull me under
I won’t let you pull me under
Like Dorothy on the run
Like Dorothy on the run
August heat settled in
Breaking my will, I stay in
Drowning in wet head and din
Back in the city again
Brew up some tea, give me energy
Something to cure this lethargy
And dreams that keep roping me
Back to the city again

Creative and intimate. Comforting, honest, and strikingly refreshing. Genre bending with the fluidity of a flowing stream. An understated masterpiece. e9
