Bruce Cockburn - The City Is Hungry lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - The City Is Hungry lyrics]
You in the mood to hear something new?
(yeah) This is a bit speculative
This has not been
Tried in front of actual humans before at
Least not actual humans who've
Paid to be there
That's a bit of a different thing
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
You better think twice
Before you go downtown
Man on a park bench face in a paper sack
Man on a park bench face in a paper sack
Look at him flying
Above those tall smokestacks
River wrapped in concrete
Hills made to stand in chains
River wrapped in concrete
Hills made to stand in chains
Ain't the city pretty?
Shines like teardrops when it rains
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
My baby grabs me she starts to dance around
She starts to dance around
She starts to dance around
Thank you
(yeah) This is a bit speculative
This has not been
Tried in front of actual humans before at
Least not actual humans who've
Paid to be there
That's a bit of a different thing
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
You better think twice
Before you go downtown
Man on a park bench face in a paper sack
Man on a park bench face in a paper sack
Look at him flying
Above those tall smokestacks
River wrapped in concrete
Hills made to stand in chains
River wrapped in concrete
Hills made to stand in chains
Ain't the city pretty?
Shines like teardrops when it rains
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
The city's hungry
Hear that rumbling underground
My baby grabs me she starts to dance around
She starts to dance around
She starts to dance around
Thank you
