Abandon City Lyrics by Utopia

Live In Tokyo ’79

0

[Verse 1]
Have you seen the color of the water coming out of the tap?
Did you hear the chatter of the hammer when you're trying to nap?
There's nothing on the counter, at the A&P store
The bank don't even bother now to open the door
It ain't pretty, pity

[Chorus]
Abandon city
Everybody over the side
The hour is late, they're closing the gate, no time to decide

Abandon city, yeah
You better run for your lives
There's nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive

[Verse 2]
Someone's doing a non-stop performance of "The Rape Of The Lock"
No one's got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven o'clock
And everybody's looking for a piece of the rock
And I just want to get my Cadillac out of hock
Too much nitty gritty

[Chorus]
Abandon city
Everybody over the side
The hour is late, they're closing the gate, no time to decide

Abandon city
Yeah, you better run for your lives
There's nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive

[Outro]
You better run for your lives
You better run for your lives
You better run for your lives
You better run for your lives
You better run for your lives
You better run for your lives

Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city

[Trumpet solo]

[Guitar solo]

Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city
Abandon city...
