lyrics

Why does it smell like tuna in here?
Why do you insist on drinking cheap beer?
It's so windy outside I might lose my hat
But then I come in and the air feels flat

I watch the kids out smoking weed in the park
Their smoke curling upward and into the dark
We don't close the blinds, 'cause we like the light
And if you fell from the window you'd die from this height

Ooo,
I got the big city blues
Ooo,
Everything’s brand new

The sun's always blinding at quarter past four
It's golden rays shining on my closed door
I've got people to meet and I've got songs to play,
Though I hate them now, I know I'll miss these days

Ooo,
I got the big city blues
Ooo,
Everything’s brand new
Ooo,
With nothing left to lose
So why am I feeling so blue?
