The City

Venice, California

Known then as "Venice: Slum by the Sea"

There's no need to wear these shades when I drive

I need to see the leap before the stride

There's so much more that can happen

I'm sure that you can imagine

I live around here

Let me show you how to walk it, stop the traffic

Them two legs will get you right for action with good brain

That get you all the answers

That get you all the cash and fashion, just bat your lashes and

Tell me where you wanna go

But I don't really think that it could get much better

The city I love, city I love, city I love

You tellin' me you wanna break free, I bet you never

Bet you never

Powder your nose, love

Smoke if you want to

Put your feet in the water

The city belongs to you girl

It's all for you

Tell me where you wanna go (It's all for you)

So when you're living the dream is it hard to see

Does your heart beat heavenly

I think it's much more than the green leaf but it helps of course

There's only one season

Can you believe the way that they talk about my paradise

We don't need that kind of vibe, no no

Don't tell me where you're from girl

Tell me where you wanna get to

The city I love, city I love, city I love

You wanna break free on me, I bet you never

Bet you never

Powder your nose, love

Smoke if you want to

Put your feet in the water

The city belongs to you girl

It's all for you

Don't tell me where you're from girl

Tell me where you wanna get to

Put your feet in the water

The city belongs to you girl

It's all for you

Tell me where you wanna go (It's all for you)
