In the city you know We stay calm We sleep in We drink all of the gin In the city you know Leave your car at the curb Be at home Be alert This town Was so much better in the '90's So I've heard Just rust with the rust And be a good drunk Keep every balloon from every party you've been to Spinning the room like a time machine Spinning the room like a time machine Everybody wants to love you when they meet you Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out This town Has a way of making people stay here So I've learned Just rust with the rust And be a good drunk Keep every balloon from every party you've been to Everybody wants to be your kind The city you know has always had potential When we were kids And we saw What we thought That we saw When we watched the motion picture At the mall It's how it's gonna be How it's gonna be
