Big City Lyrics - Seven Days In Sammystown - Wall Of Voodoo

Think twice about big tall cities 

That's right 

Think twice about big tall cities 

Think twice 

right 

He closes his eyes to the world 

When he wakes up at night 

And she, she reaches tenderly 

Kisses him and holds him tight 

He, he lies awake by her side 

And waits for the cold sweat to dry 

She, she comforts he and tells him 

Scary things in your sleep can't bite 

Tomorrow they'll pack up their buckeye ties 

Head for the big city 

Past the driving rains 

And desert plains touching Mexico 

They'll see sidewalk stars 

Luxury cars and even Disneyland 

Reach the land of plenty 

With the hopes that maybe they can 

Make a new start on the world 

But my advice? 

You're gonna 

Think twice about big cities 

Think twice that's right 

Think twice about big tall cities 

Right 

Think twice about big cities 

Think twice that's right 

You're gonna 

Think twice about big cities 

Think twice that's right 

I'm sorry old man 

Its nothing personal you understand 

But I've just gotta run 

This lead pipe on someone 

For tommorrow they ride upon 

A sour wind that's gonna push them west 

With Mojave dust, paper cups 

And Grayhound immigrants 

There's the sidewalk saviors 

And drunken sailors 

And she-men in leather like cops 

You got the calling 

Stop stalling 

The big city's waiting for you 

But my advice? 

You're gonna 

Think twice about big cities 

Think twice about big cities 

Think twice about big tall cities 

Think twice that's right............
