City Looks Pretty Lyrics - Courtney Barnett

The city looks pretty when you been indoors 

For 23 days I've ignored all your phone calls 

Everyone's waiting when you get back home 

They don't know where you been, why you gone so long 

Friends treat you like a stranger and 

Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well 

Spare a thought for the ones that came before 

All in a daze bending backwards to reach your goal 

Sometimes I get sad 

It's not all that bad 

One day, maybe never 

I'll come around

The city takes pity on your injured soul 

N heavenly prose ain't enough good to fill that hole 

Everyone's soaked in animosity 

It's vicious in winter, you never say what you mean 

Friends treat you like a stranger and 

Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well 

Wakin' up to another dismal day 

You got a ways to go, you oughta be grateful

Sometimes I get mad 

It's not half as bad 

Pull yourself together 

N just calm down 

I'll be what you want oh when you want it 

But I'll never be what you need 

And the city looks pretty from where I'm standing
