City Song Lyrics - Natural Ingredients - Luscious Jackson

I'm taking the side streets 

and I'm cruising down the alleyways 

and I'm feeling the cool breeze 

across my face 

I'm losing to find 

and I'm breaking to fix 

cause I'm not fit to go on like this 

music in my head 

the rhythm keeps me fed 

these sounds surround me 

in these in high frequencies 

there's no place like home 

there's no place like home 

stone alone 

in the city of bastard roots 

When I'm about to go crazy 

cause I'm still living here 

I just get my friends together 

and we dance, dance, dance 

cause this is the state of the world 

this is the state of the world 

this city tells me what it's like to live 

Hey bike messenger 

what's your name? 

Have you got the time 

to talk to me? 

Tell you what 

We'll sit on this here stoop 

and talk all about you 

We'll just keep sitting here 

til you roll on through. 

chorus 

cause this is the state of the world 

cause this is the state of the world 

Serpico he's still around 

screwed up police ya might 

get found 

city crime's for city cops 

you've got to know 

the streets you rock 

the subway tells the story here 

this is the place to disappear 

Cause this is the state of the world 

and I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

and I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

and I'll die in my open mind 

I live in my open mind 

and I'll die in my open mind
