Sax in the City

Sometimes I just lay back and float away-ay

I spilt a serving, oh where's the Bourbon

Xylophone, kaleidoscope, is so spontaneous

Telling you she's just grey (she's running away)

I live in a house by the roadside

And the cars pass by every day

I get so stir-crazy

And it's so frustrating

What's it about?

Stuck in a landslide, and it's passing you by

So go approach a total stranger

And ask them, "Tell me something interesting"

Bye, bye, bye, bye to this city maze

The sax is in the city

And Vesuvius is waking from its dormant phase

Let loose an eruption

With their suits and cats and moms and cats and frats and rats and suits and ties and stripes and spots

Uh, tell me where you come from

And that man that was fluorescent tried to see you everyday

Holding your lollipop

Tell me all your secrets

And I'm curious in your lives, I'm eavesdropping, fine, I know it's not right

But how can I

The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming

The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping

You stopped me at the red light

You stopped me at the red light

You stole me at the red light

You stole me at the red light

At the red light, you stopped me at the red light

The city's never sleeping

All these people stuck inside their day daze

Uh, tell me what you're thinking

Headlights, no light besides the city haze

The city's exploded, the people have died

I'll fight double glazing on all of your eyes

Now get off your device and concentrate

The car's about to hit you

The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming

The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping

(You stopped me at the red light

You stopped me at the red light)

Fire engines screaming, the rest of us are dreaming

The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping
