Citysong Lyrics - Luscious Jackson

I'm taking the side streets 

And I'm cruising down the alley ways 

And I'm feeling the cool breeze across my face 

I'm losing to find and I'm breaking to fix 

'Cause I'm not fit to go on like this 

Music in my head, the rhythm keeps me fed 

These sounds surround me in these in high frequencies 

There's no place like home there's, no place like home 

Stone alone in the city of bastard roots 

When I'm about to go crazy, 'cause I'm still living here 

I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance 

'Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world 

This city tells me what it's like to live 

Hey, bike messenger, "What's your name?" 

Have you got the time to talk to me? 

Tell you what? We'll sit on this here stoop 

And talk all about you, we'll just keep sitting here 

Till you roll on through 

When I'm about to go crazy, 'cause I'm still living here 

I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance 

'Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world 

This city tells me what it's like to live 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

Serpico, he's still around screwed up police ya might 

Get found, city crime's for city cops 

You've got to know the streets you rock 

The subway tells the story here 

This is the place to disappear 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

'Cause this is the state of the world 

And I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

And I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

And I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

And I'll die in my open mind
