lyrics

I’m going to the city
Though it’s cold outside
I’m tired of the country
Of this countryside
Will the train ‘round the bend take me where I want to
I’m tired of standing like a scarecrow tonight
Licking up speed and drinking Mai Tais
We’re going to hit the street for some loving tonight

And we ain’t gonna rush it gonna ride it so slow
Pop down some pills and up to heaven we’ll go

The man at the door
Won’t let me inside
He’ll kick my head in
Till I’m tired of the fight
Will the train ‘round the bend take me where I want to
I’m tired of waiting for a cab in the night
Licking up speed and drinking Mai Tais
We’re going to hit the street for some loving tonight

And we ain’t gonna rush it gonna ride it so slow
Pop down some pills and up to heaven we’ll go

I’m going to the city
Though it’s cold outside
I’m tired of the country
I’m tired of these ties
Will the train ‘round the bend take me where I want to
I’m tired of looking for the meaning of life
Licking up speed and drinking Mai Tais
We’re going to hit the street for some loving tonight

And we ain’t gonna rush it gonna ride it so slow
Pop down some pills and up to heaven we’ll go
