Testo The City Has Left You Alone - Kevin Devine
Testo della canzone The City Has Left You Alone (Kevin Devine), tratta dall'album Between the Concrete & Clouds
Neurotic intellectual
Emotionally unavailable
You're everything you think you should be
But the truth is unavoidable
Every choice intentional
Darling, I don't mean to be mean
But you're see-through as see-through can be
When the party ends, you're sweating in sheets
'Cause the city has left you alone
To cycle on and fast-forward through
Strangers in your phone
And you re-record your voicemail
Find that perfect hollow tone
"Hey, you've reached me"
What does that mean? I don't know
So run your risk and play your part
Hide away your hardened heart
Tuck yourself back into your shell
But is all that detached irony
That finely-tuned delivery
Hurting more than it's ever helped?
Are you fooling anyone but yourself?
Well, you're the only one who can tell
'Cause the city has left you alone
In a Chelsea bar at closing time
Too wired to go home
When a street shark with a songbird rap
And a repertory of rogue
Slurs, "C'mon, love, there ain't no secret code
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, yes or no?
Leave the mourning for the morning, love, let's go"
You're acting out the dead end of a theme
A cliché in a roundabout, another person's dream
It makes romantic copy, but it's not a life to lead
So roll your eyes and suck on your teeth
And you don't need to prove nothing to me
You're the only one who knows what you need
'Cause the city has left you alone
Squinting at an address with the car service on hold
You keep waiting on redemption
Isn't waiting getting old?
You shut your eyes, the city clears his throat
