You Belong to the City Now

More and more it's a cameo You phone it in, like we ought to know You were beautiful, when you were young In and out of conditioned air There's nothing wrong, but there's nothing staring Back at you, when the morning comes Oh you live alone and you sleep around You settle up never settle down For anyone, like that's a plan You try to blend with the younger scene You change your hair and you change your drink You're starting back, back where you began Just stay alive another day Another way to blow it all on the town You pour it out and you watch it burn You live it up 'til it's way too late to live it down Oh you belong to the city now All the things that you've got to do You get 'em done in shiny shoes Just to take a cab, around the block There's a man to watch your door There's girl to sweep your floor Everything, yeah that's all you've got But you stay alive another day Another way to blow it all on the town You pour it out and you watch it burn You live it up 'til it's way too late to live it down Oh you belong to the city now You tried to escape, but she's just too strong And you waited too long You stay alive another day Just another way to blow it all on the town You pour it out just to watch it burn You live it up 'til it's way too late to live it down Oh you belong to the city now
