Hey there, little runaway, cassanova got to get himself straight./Save the suicide for your birthday./ what you call fighting, I call fore play.
We can make it happen. We can live in the city all our lives.
Hey there, little F.I.T., you're not the first to fake it during fashion week./ I love the maniquins and the new speak/ turn your face, I kiss the other cheek.
We can make it happen.
Hey there, little cast away, where you end up is where you aught to stay./ I take my lessons from the MTA/ it's not what the city takes, it's what you give away.
We can make it happen.
You can put your hand to the walls of the bathroom stall and pretend it's Berlin/ you can embrace the new jack, beat the ghosts back, call yourself Vicadin/ you can move to the Northwest, Portland, Oregon, where the girls are easy and the boys lack ambition. You can put your arms to the wall of the bathroom stall and it's alright/ it's not alright, but it's alright because we live in the city.
