This City Kills

Another day's gone by,
and I've still got all my pieces in place.
I have to say that I'm amazed, I've been fooling
traffic and alcohol, cigarettes and medicine
and so on.
I've done it all, and I'm still going strong,
but there's no doubt about it,
this city holds a lot of thrills
But it ain't got no substitute
for mountains and hills,
And all the children always end up popping pills
And the radio keeps saying "this city kills."
Oh, baby, I need you to catch me when I fall.
Oh, baby, I need you to catch me when I fall, yeah.
Another day's gone by, and the city's getting ready to explode.
That's what it feels like anyway, but how would I know?
But I can't sit around and wait for something to happen no more--
that's why I'm walking right out of that door.
There's no doubt about it, this city holds a lot of thrills,
but it ain't got no substitute
for mountains and hills.
And all the children always end up popping pills,
and on the radio the newsman always keeps repeating that this city kills.
Oh, baby, I need you to catch me when I fall,
catch me when I fall.
Oh, baby, I need you to catch me when I fall.
I'm driving my car through the pouring rain.
Wash off all the wounds, and leave no stains.
Being out, looking in,
makes me feel more sane.
I'm never driving in to look out again.
Baby, I need you to catch me when I fall,
catch me when I fall.
Oh, baby, I need you to catch me when I fall, yeah.
I need you to catch me when I fall
I need you to catch me when I fall.
