i'm up on the rooftop
i'm calling it home
the wife and i love it
it's a little like livin' in a civil war zone
the streets are electric
the sky is alive
unlimited action
it looks like the future has finally arrived

i love this city
you feel so alive
there's so much excitement
i hope i survive

there's high-maintenance women
and idiot sons
and gentlemen losers
and runaway children with no place to run
the girl with needle and child
the guy with the gun
the fallen believers gone wild
the leftover hippies
the 50-foot woman

i love this city...
