Joe Purdy – Faketown Lyrics 17 years ago
I can't believe there's not a comment on this song yet. Joe's an amazing artist. I think this song's pretty self-explanatory, but still amazing lyrics. It's crazy how he can turn simple chords and beats into incredible songs, but I think this song's about how he just hates how this world and all the people in it have gotten so fake.

Joe Purdy – The City Lyrics 17 years ago
Here's the correct lyrics per the site above

The city keeps on going on

Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay
Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I
Haven't slept in a week
But it don't seem to matter to the subway squeakers squeaking at my feet

The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling on



Grand Central Station got a windy coming down
Independence yesterday, ain't no one around
Oh I still recognize her after all these years
She still looks the same
Oh she still looks the same

(chorus)




When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard
Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off
We're just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark's
Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face
She was just kissing my face

(chorus x2)



Just when I was sick and down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train
Just when I was sinking down
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train

She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
She was dancing on the midway
