In A Big City Lyrics - Local Business - Titus Andronicus

I grew up on one side of the river 

I was a disturbed dangerous drifter 

Moved over to the other side of the river 

Now I'm a drop in a deluge of hipsters 

Something a guy from the first side said 

To die in a cipher city to a cinder 

Male or female, beggars still the only ones calling me "mister" 

And some of my dreams 

are coming true 

And some of the smoke from the other room 

is seeping through 

And some other ghost in another tomb 

is screaming too 

Black hole open up wide 

Yr lost son is coming inside 

Spaceship? Or a lifeboat? 

Put me out coach, I'm ready to float 

Who would fardels bear to grunt and sweat 

'neath a life that was so mundane? 

And what would you expect from a guy like me 

On a day such as Monday? 

When I know life begins at the moment of consumptions 

So taxing on the dollars and the sense of deduction 

And every cent I ever earned, I spend and I would again 

It's easy turning me on I'm nearly a robot 

I've been building bombs 

Bombs between beers and blow jobs 

Lifeless automaton feeling like a ghost 

I don't know much but I know which side's buttered on my toast 

From jersey I come but I pump my own gas 

I'm a dirty bum but I wipe my own ass 

If you're chasing any other kinds of currency, son 

You're really doing little more than twiddling your thumbs
