 City Life
Poetry by me

Some of you will identify with the  illness in the song 'Haze'

'City Life' song reflects the reality of a girl living alone.


He is
wasting away  
in his haze of unhappy fantasy  
Passing the hours  
Not knowing that they're gone.  
He keeps yearning for a past  
He wishes could have been  
Forgetting all the love he's had  
Remembering only sin.

He used to be an okay guy  
With lots of caring friends  
His brains and brawn  
Were drawing cards  
His wit seemed not to end  
But slowly he's been losing it  
And all who know him see  
The person they once knew before
Has long since ceased to be.  
He stays inside  
He rarely leaves  
Not answering door or phone  
He drinks, he smokes  
He thinks too much  
It's sad he's so alone  
Some see him as mean  
I see him hurt  
Tumbling faster down life's hill  
Nothing helps  
It will not change  
And yet, we worry still  

And he is  
Wasting away  
in his haze of unhappy fantasy  
Passing the hours  
Not knowing that they're gone  
He keeps yearning for a past  
He wishes could have been  
Ignoring all the love he's got  
Remembering only sin.  

 
I'm just a warm hearted country girl  
In a cold hearted city life.  
Up at six, get to work by eight,  
Back on the road at five.  
Shower, change, later a date,  
Lucky to still be alive.  
I'm just a warm hearted country girl  
In a cold hearted city life.  

Always lock the door,  
have money for a cab,  
Keep an eye out all around.  
Home again when  
the phone rings late.  
It's probably the whispering clown.
Who could it be,  
there hasn't been a clue  
The same thing every time.  
Some lonely sap  
trying to get some kicks  
A married guy without a dime.  

I'm just a warm hearted country girl  
In a cold hearted city life.  
3 AM the door bell rings  
I wonder who it is.  
"Your friendly neighbourhood  
garbage man,"  
Is who he says he is.

I hope the locks hold on the door  
If this guy's a beast.  
Not another with the dream  
To get between my sheets.

I'm just a warm hearted country girl  
In a cold hearted city life.  
The rumour mill, no matter what,  
They say what they think thrills.  
The truth is of no consequence  
Damn! It gives me chills.

I'm just a warm hearted country girl  
In a cold hearted city life.
