Dreaming of the City - Kid Dakota

At dusk, the stars feel awkward

They’re so hesitant to shine

And late at night when we’re all tired and sleeping

They light the world that we leave behind

And lately i’ve been chasing comets

In a spaceship on TV

While you go out at night

You get piss drunk and comment

On how much you mean to me

And there’s something i wanna tell you

But it’s so difficult to say

'cause baby, the words sound like we’re talking underwater

When you’re so, when you’re so far away

Well, if i only had a gutter

Well, i could catch it when it falls

But my basement’s slowly filling up with water

It’s running down the concrete walls

And you could say it’s been a bad year

And you’d be saying something true

Well it’s almost like, it’s almost like

A cheap print of a picasso painting

One with seven shades of blue

And i’ve been dreaming of the city

What a wonderful place to be

I’ve been dreaming of the city

But the city, the city doesn’t dream of me

Yeah the city, the city’s gonna let me be

I’m almost out of here

No more wasting time watching the weather channel

I’m almost out of here

No more reading the road maps

See, i’m ready to travel

I’m almost out of here

I’ve been on my best behavior

I’m putting puzzles together with my grandmas

I’m almost out of here.

i’m almost out of

South dakota, south dakota

Almost

Well i miss the city lights

Well i miss the city lights

Well i miss the city

Fights that we used to have

Well i miss the city lights
