The City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My body grows, my city shrinks I feel her hands around my waist Not like we're dancing Like she's pushing me away My shoulders back, my stomach in I rub my sweat into her skin It makes her glow but not enough To keep me in [Verse 2] I ride the buses, take the trains I squeeze my figure through her veins I am congestion I'm the blood clot in her leg In movie theaters, public parks In delis, markets, coffee shops Her organs fold and wave me Gasping in her streets
