Barenaked Ladies - Hello City lyrics

[Barenaked Ladies - Hello City lyrics]

Hello city! Hey

Another night at the palace
'Cause there is nothing else to do
Oh oh, ah ha
The same people, the same drinks and
The same music, the same quicksand
I think this harbor town is
Waist deep and sinking fast

Hello city you've found an enemy in me
Whoa oh, whoa oh (ba do do dobie oh oh)
Hello city (hello city) hello city, hey

Second night at the warehouse
And my mock turtleneck just reeks
From the liquor room to the change room
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room
I think this seaside beer hall
Should sink into the bay

Hello city you've found an enemy in me
Whoa oh, whoa oh (ba do do dobie oh oh)
Hello city (hello city) hello city, hey

Maybe I caught you at a bad time
Maybe I should call you back next week
Maybe half the fault is mine that the
Sun didn't shine on Barrington Street

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm hungry so lets eat whoa oh, whoa oh
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
And the bar fights
We're just taking in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed

Hello city you've found an enemy in me
Whoa oh, whoa oh (ba do do dobie oh oh)
Hello city (hello city) hello city, hey

"What a good place to be" don't believe them
'Cause they speak a different language and
It's never been happy for me
(It's Happy Hour again) whoa oh, whoa oh
It's Happy Hour again whoa oh, whoa oh
Hello city, hey whoa oh, whoa oh
Hello city, hey
