I am not your girl If you are like this town That doesn’t hold you close Just keeping you around
With it’s flashing lights All the colors and shapes There’s so much here wanting I keep forgetting why I came
To this town
I can move real fast I can cover ground The clank of subway tracks A million shades of black and brown
We’re growing out of concrete Out of tunnels to shade Of something towering over All the reasons that you came
To this town
I would move real fast But I can’t put you down As if my arms attached To the side it fits around
I know the flashing lights I know the colors and shapes Of the things worth wanting And the things that fade away I know the flashing lights I know the colors and sounds Of the things worth wanting There’s so much here wanting
There’s so much here wanting I keep forgetting why I came
