Nels Cline - Capitol City lyrics

[Verse 1] Capitol city, skyline photo Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so Low in the sky Secretaries at the hot dog vendors Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers Rolling by I can't call with a subway token Anyway, the phones are all broken I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you [Hook] You wouldn't like it here You should stay right there Breathing that country air You wouldn't like it here [Verse 2] Capitol towers radiate a steam vent Scream along with the clarinets and Arguments echo down the hall I can't sleep, I can't wake up Shaking up, maybe we should break up I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you [Hook] [Verse 3] Capitol city, skyline photo Picture postcards, sad and lonesome, low in the sky I can't smile when my heart's still broken Far away, in love and unspoken I wish you were here Or I was there with you
