Leaving The City Lyrics - Divers - Joanna Newsom

don't let me go 

i'm falling 

i'm crying on the floor 

cats come to help 

pain is striking 

in my heart 

ouch 

i'm leaving the city 

forever, to live with johnny 

johnny, gives me money 

he wraps me in a blanket 

calls me his 'lil burrito' 

oh my, my, leaving the city 

piano in the back, guitar in the back 

i'm going back 

oooh, for a while i missed my mom 

then she threw lettuce at me 

i watched the sun come up 

i watched my arms fall down 

i'm tired of this, tired of this 

pick me to be on your team 

fair and mighty, my little bird 

i'm traveling, i'm leaving the city 

fake a smile, show me teeth 

i'm hungry for a beautiful hug 

turn me inside out and give me to the bears 

i'm leaving the city 

(oh mama where's your sauce) i'm leaving the city
