The Great City
Escape the Whirlpool: Unveiling the Pitfalls of The Great City
Lyrics
If ever you're restless and feelin' low,
If you're ever restless and feeling low,
Don't think that the city is the place to go!
Don't consider the city as the solution to go!
Well, I'll tell you one thing worth thinkin' about,
I'll tell you one thing worth contemplating,
If you come in be sure you can get back out!
If you enter, ensure you can exit with no hesitating!
The great city's playboys, they're always around,
The great city's playboys are always near,
To help build your hopes up, then help drag you down!
They build your hopes, then pull you down, I fear!
They'll leave you with nothing worth singin' about,
They'll leave you with nothing to sing about,
'Cause when you're in it's so hard to get back out!
Entering is easy, but leaving? There's doubt!
The great city, cold cruel stone!
The great city, cold and cruel stone!
Ten million people, and each one standin' alone!
Ten million people, each standing alone!
You're caught in a whirlpool of east side cafes,
Caught in a whirlpool of east side cafes,
Where life is a cocktail of beads and berets!
Life is a cocktail of beads and berets!
And blues are the main things you're drinkin' about,
Blues are the main things you're thinking about,
'Cause now you're in and now, now you won't back out!
Once in, it's hard to find the way out!
The great city, cold cruel stone!
The great city, cold and cruel stone!
Ten million people, and each one standin' alone!
Ten million people, each standing alone!
You're caught in a whirlpool of east side cafes,
Caught in a whirlpool of east side cafes,
Where life is a cocktail of beads and berets!
Life is a cocktail of beads and berets!
And blues are the main things you're drinkin' about,
Blues are the main things you're thinking about,
'Cause now you're in and now, now you won't back out!
Once in, it's hard to find the way out!
'Cause now you're in and now, now you won't back out!
Now you're in, and now you won't back out!
'Cause now you're in and now, now you won't back out!
