Run to the City

[Verse 1]
Been here too long, you've seen it all, hey
No room for all your whimsical dreams, hey
Your quiet sky, a literal ceiling, hey
You want the job, you've got to drive in, hey

[Chorus]
You better run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city
Better run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city, let's go

[Verse 2]
Look at the real subway tiles, hey
Look at your dream of jumping turnstiles, hey
Look at us meet and fall in love, hey
Check out you moving to the floor above, hey

[Chorus]
You better run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city
Gonna run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city

[Chorus]
Go and run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city
Go and run to the city
Run to the city, run to the city

[Verse 3]
The better part of all of us, hey
Still run the street in boom and bust, hey
The rhythm pumps, we're scraping by, hey
The fetish comes, the demon flies, hey

[Verse 4]
You tell me, "I've earned the right, haven't I, to say
What of the grind and what if I want space?
And haven't we made it a brighter place?"
The seeds and dust you leave behind, we chase

[Chorus]
You're gonna run from the city
Run from the city, run from the city
Gonna run from the city
Run from the city, run from the city

[Chorus]
Gonna run from the city
Run from the city, run from the city
Gonna run from the city
Run from the city, run from the city, let's run
