Capitol City

Capitol city, skyline photo

Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so

Low in the sky

Secretaries at the hot dog vendors

Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers

Rolling by

I can't call with a subway token

Anyway, the phones are all broken

I wish you were here,

better yet I wish I was there with you

You wouldn't like it here

You should stay right there

Breath'in that country air

You wouldn't like it here

Capitol towers radiate a steam vent

Scream along with the clarinets and

Arguments echo down the hall

I can't sleep, I can't wake up

Shakin' up, maybe we should break up

I wish you were here, better yet

I wish I was there with you

You wouldn't like it here

You should stay right there

Breathin' that country air

You wouldn't like it here ...

Capitol city, skyline photo

Picture postcard sign the moon's so

I can't smile when my heart's still broken

Far away, in love and unspoken

I wish you were here

Or I was there with you
