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
