Steaming pavement, raving dements Screaming sirens rotting the eardrums Desperation nourishing action Ill-begotten staving off starvation

Earth-moving moments Motley vendor potions Glossy entertainment Vacillating notions Buick, boom-boom-boomin' and throbbin' Whatever you want can be acquired

** CHORUS: Pretty city draws a breath People nip at the bit Counterfeit lives like the rest Perfectly at home in urban paradise

Sour spiral down, hedonist climb up When too much is hardly enough Public enemy number one Those not along for enjoying the ride

**

OUTRO: Pretty city takes a breath Pop a squat for a bit Live however you feel best Roll of the dice in urban paradise
