I’ve been to Chicago and I’ve seen it’s tallest tower Rising high in silver spears in great displays of power They got a lot of pretty things a man cannot ignore Oh, but that’s not the city that I’m looking for
I’ve seen New York city now all covered in the snow Shining bright with colored lights everywhere I go But I feel something missing here And I long for something more Oh, it’s still not the city that I’m looking for
And every time that I try to rest my troubled soul All I find is I’m not at home And I will walk every road the world may have in store But it’s still not the city that I’m looking for
I’ve been out to see L.A. in all it’s glory fine To get a taste of hollywood some would call divine But every sip upon my lip would kill me at the core Knowing this is not the city that I’m looking for
Seems like just as long as I remember I’ve never found the place I wanna find But as long as I can get there by forever I’ll admit that I don’t really mind
Cuz somewhere in that city by the pretty crystal sea I’ve been told of streets of gold And a mansion there for me And nothing here can make me fear The promise of that shore Oh, and that’s the kind of city that I’m looking for
Chorus
Oh, and that’s the kind of city that I’m looking for (2X)
