lyrics
I’d kinda like to take a single day,
Really get away
From this city life.
I think it’s time I stop the daily grind,
Get some peace of mind,
Besides...
I’m tired of the people everywhere,
And the city air,
And this crumby weather.
Let’s pack our bags and take a trip for two,
Only me and you,
Right now.
I’m not talkin’ 'bout
Coney Island.
That’s not good enough you see.
I’m goin’ where there’s nobody around,
And there’s just the sound
Of the cool water.
I’d say that it’s the best that I can do
if it’s only you
And I.
--
But when we get away,
I get lonesome
For those city sounds I know.
I long to hear my neighbors down the hall,
Voices through the wall,
And that subway chime.
So in the end it turns out that I long
For that city song
Tonight.
