Lyric Heart Of The City

(nick lowe)

We re in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roams
I m a little lost lamb
Ain t got no place to go
I ain t got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain t never goin back
I m lookin for a lover in the heart of the city

Well i m a standin on the street
And i m a steppin off the end
Yeah i m lookin for a lover
Lookin lookin everywhere
Maybe i m in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There s a girl my lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I m lookin for a lover in the heart of the city

I m lookin i m lookin i m lookin i m lookin
I m lookin lookin lookin lookin everywhere
In the heart of the city

We re in the heart of the city
We re in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music
And a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
And they re checkin on me
They know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two out on the streets
Checkin on neat in the heart of the city

Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
