Urban Lyrics - Van Der Graaf Generator

(Hammill) 

Sometimes living for the moment 

sometimes going with the flow 

sometimes professing to be an exponent 

of the quiet life 

while night life 

surrounds me I sit 

and go crazy alone 

too many people and too little action 

too much exterior acting too little inside. 

Oh, yet I still feel that manic attraction 

I've lived in the city for most of my life 

and suppose 

I'll be there when I die 

still going through the frantic motions 

still qualifying everything I say 

responding urbanely to every emotion 

the city life freaks me 

the city life feeds me 

the city life blows me away
