Praise the ground for keeping me so still
We can only wait until
The sky is bluer than your eyes
Chase the seams as they come undone
You were never meant to run
From anyone
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
Raise your hands above the salty sea
Wonder what's in it for me
And how you brought me to my knees
Cross your fingers as you promise to
Bring me something old that's new
I hope that I'll never lose
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
