The blood of the city Runs through my veins While the songs of the forest Are fillin' my brain Uptpwn and downtown I search for some peace My poor soul is poisoned Can't get no relief Carry me up Carry me down Take my poor body Away from this town And if you see me standing alone Don't shake your head, no Just take me home Well, I laughed at myself I take things too hard I know you're my friend You don't mean me no harm I don't understand What's wrong with my mind I guess a clear understanding Is so hard to find Won't you carry me up, carry me down Take my poor body away from this town And if you see me standing alone Don't shake your head, no, just take me home Standing in a crowd of people Feelin' all alone Maybe tomorrow, leave me today How could my best seem to fall through? Just carry me up Carry me down Take my poor body Away from this town And if you see me standing alone Don't shake your head, no Just take me home Carry me up Carry me down Take my poor body Away from this town And if you see me standing alone Don't shake your head No, just take me home Songwriter: Michael Kamen
