Welcome To The City Lyrics

Welcome To The City

Two dollar tips and the lipstick cigarettes

 Get yourself a job with your fingertips

 Too many tickets for the backseat matinee

 Two hours later and you're looking for another face

 Don't ask for love

 Don't ask for pity

 Don't ask for me

 Welcome to the city



 Four hundred dollars bus a room in the city

 With a whole lot of people and a hole in the ceiling

 Freeze in the winter, die in the summer

 Seventeen kids next door without a mother

 Hey, if you see me coming up the stairs

 Please don't confuse me with someone who cares



 Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby

 I'm really...



 You got some letter, it's a recommendation

 Your best friend's ex sent a copy to the station

 And he knows some agent through a distant realtion

 An inside connection with a map and directions

 Ah, too bad you came

 Too bad you waited

 Too bad for you

 You're over-educated



 Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby

 I'm really glad



 Don't ask for love

 Don't ask for pity

 Don't ask for me

 Welcome to the city
