Twin Cities Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Now we're in twin cities 

Where the Mississippi rises and then falls 

One is Minneapolis 

And the other no less famous is St. Paul? s 

There are stray dogs on the highway 

And the local farmers moan about lack of rain 

When the winds blew last winter I swear 

England had another hurricane, hurricane 

And we are twin cities, and we are that river 

From the standing still, we will be delivered 

Last time in New York was with Mandela 

And Madonna and The Mets 

They? re icons of an era where 

That? s about as famous as it gets 

(That? s what I call famous, babe)

I? ve seen cities full of ticker tape 

And cotton trains through Utah, disappearing out of sight 

Now I? m standing in a city 

That? s as pretty as an ocean in the night 

And we are twin cities, and we are that ocean 

From the standing still, we are set in motion 

And no one calls me up to say 

? How long are you going to be away? 

(Are you ever coming back?) 

Yeah, yeah 

(Are you ever coming back?) 

No one calls me up to say 

? Don? t let that life lead you astray? 

(Don? t forget to come back) 

Yeah 

(Don? t forget to come back)

They were rioting in Detroit on the night 

The Pistons won it back to back 

I was out of there the next day 

And I only had just two bags to pack 

And we are twin cities, and we are one river 

From the standing still, we will be delivered 

And we are twin cities, and we are one ocean 

From the standing still, we are set in motion 

Yeah, we are twin cities 

We are one river 

(We are twin cities) 

One ocean 

We are twin cities 

(We are twin cities) 

We are one river, yeah 

One ocean 

We are twin cities, one ocean 

We are twin cities
