[00:19.63] A city freeze, get on your knees
[00:24.36] Pray for warmth and green paper
[00:28.99] A city drought, you're down and out
[00:33.74] See your trousers don't taper
[00:38.48] Saddle up, kick your feet
[00:43.35] Ride the range of a London street
[00:48.09] Travel to a local plane
[00:52.90] Turn around and come back again
[01:01.26] And at the chime of the city clock
[01:04.75] Put up your road block, hang on to your crown
[01:11.12] For a stone in a tin can
[01:13.99] Is wealth to the city man who leaves his armor down
[01:22.54]
[01:31.64] Stay indoors, beneath the floors
[01:35.89] Talk with neighbors only
[01:40.51] The games you play, make people say
[01:45.19] You're either weird or lonely
[01:50.12] A city star, won't shine too far
[01:55.29] On account of the way you are
[01:59.92] And the beads around your face
[02:04.66] Make you sure to fit back in place
[02:11.15]
[02:13.20] And at the beat of the city drum
[02:16.77] See how your friends come in twos or threes or more
[02:23.01] For the sound of a busy place is fine for a pretty face
[02:28.55] Who knows what a face is for
[02:37.86]
[02:59.88] The city clown will soon fall down
[03:04.63] Without a face to hide in
[03:06.35]
[03:09.47] And he will lose if he won't choose
[03:14.15] The one he may confide in
[03:18.96] Sonny boy, with smokes for sale
[03:24.14] Went to ground with a face so pale
[03:28.57] And never heard about the change
[03:33.31] Showed his hand and fell out of range
[03:39.05]
[03:42.05] In the light of a city square
[03:45.54] Find out the face that's fair, keep it by your side
[03:51.60] When the light of the city falls
[03:54.96] You fly to the city walls, take off with your bride
[04:01.27] But at the chime of a city clock
[04:04.89] Put up your road block, hang on to your crown
[04:11.25] For a stone in a tin can
[04:14.24] Is wealth to the city man who leaves his armor down
[04:23.55]
[04:27.72]
