Meanwhile Back In The City Lyrics - Presidents Of The United States Of America

Well I standing quiet alone in a crowded disco 

When a man I did not know 

Showed me the door and told me I had to go 

Well that kind of humiliation never happens on a farm 

That's why city livin' does the 

Psysche such harm and I said 

Fire escapes don't work, until there's a fire 

You gotta sleep on the floor 

Live in the mud 

There's no need to go higher 

Once you taste a brick, you won't want more 

Saving sanity is no trick 

When your livin' outdoors 

Well it did not take me long to realise my mistake 

When garbage trucks messed up my dreams 

I knew my dreams were fake 

I don't know how people gonna live like this 

Pigeons might enjoy it but I 

Can't live in this mess and I said 

Fire escapes don't work, until there's a fire 

You gotta sleep on the floor 

Live in the mud 

There's no need to go higher 

Once you taste a brick, you can't chew and talk 

Saving sanity is no trick 

When your livin' in a room the size of a shoebox 

So finally all the wires and plastic got to me 

Ideas and realizations were passing right through me 

I did not take a train, a plane or bus with wings 

Man wasn't meant to fly 

Besides walking does the same thing 

Gets me outta here 

Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire 

You gotta sleep on the floor 

Live in the mud 

There's no need to go higher 

Once you taste a brick you won't want more 

Saving sanity is a trick 

When you livin' on someone elses floor 

Hi, wazzup? How you doing? Its good to see ya 

What's your name again? I cant remember 

Times up, I gotta go
