Abandon City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Have you seen the color of the water coming out of the tap? Did you hear the chatter of the hammer when you're trying to nap? There's nothing on the counter, at the A&P store The bank don't even bother now to open the door It ain't pretty, pity [Chorus] Abandon city Everybody over the side The hour is late, they're closing the gate, no time to decide Abandon city, yeah You better run for your lives There's nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive [Verse 2] Someone's doing a non-stop performance of "The Rape Of The Lock" No one's got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven o'clock And everybody's looking for a piece of the rock And I just want to get my Cadillac out of hock Too much nitty gritty [Chorus] Abandon city Everybody over the side The hour is late, they're closing the gate, no time to decide Abandon city Yeah, you better run for your lives There's nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive [Outro] You better run for your lives You better run for your lives You better run for your lives You better run for your lives You better run for your lives You better run for your lives Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city [Trumpet solo] [Guitar solo] Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city Abandon city...
