Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul   You're army's trying so very hard to find for me a goal   But where's your quiet pastures where there's time for me to be   Nothing else but what I am that's what you seem scared to see   You cover up your emptiness with brick and noise and rush   Oh I can see and touch you but you don't owe reality much      Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind   Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me   Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind      Send another carriage chugging down your chokey tube   I hope it makes you happy 'cause it don't do my health much good   You slowly killing fumes now squeeze the lemon in my head   Make me know just what it's like for a sin drenched christian to be dead   Ah show me your glitter and your flashing neon light   You see I think that only the sun knows how to be quietly bright      Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind   Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me   Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind      Hey, city, what you been doing?   All these years what you been doing?   Who would believe that what you been doing    Would make such a ruin of you?
