I can hardly recognise the place I grew up to know
They pushed the old aside and let the new one flow
It starts to hear the sound of vehement paradise
At the hiss of a plastic surgeon's knife
Sometimes I look through people's windows babe
I see them lonely with technology
I see the lovers going through the motions
Hear them roaring and yearning now
I'm a city pigeon
Flying through the city
Inner city pigeon
I'm always hot to bother
And I'm ready
And I'm never coming down
No I'm never coming down
Inner city pigeon
I ain't never coming down
I saw people put their power on display
Like pigs that shoot black skin in the USA
They might be executive heroes amongst their friends
But no soap will make their hands smell clean again
Sometimes I fly by people's windows babe
I see them lonely with technology
I see the lovers going through the motions
Hear them roaring and yearning now
I'm a city pigeon
Flying through the city
Inner city pigeon
I'm always hot to bother
And I'm ready
And I'm never coming down
No I'm never coming down
Inner city pigeon
I ain't never coming down
