lyrics

THE BUILDINGS ARE EVER ONLY SO HIGH
A LOT OF CONCRETE & A LITTLE BIT OF SKY
MY SAND COLORED CITY & DIRTY BACKYARDS
THE CHAIN RESTAURANTS ARE NEVER TOO FAR

THE HOMELESS SLEEPING ON THE LIBRARY BLOCK
5TH ST. BALLCAPS & SEEDY PAWNSHOPS
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IS A MAJOR EXPENSE
LIVES IN HOCK FOR AFFORDABLE RENT

I THINK WE'RE MORE THAN THE FLYOVER PEOPLE
IF LIKE THE FIRST ONE JUST WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL

LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF GOOD & BAD NEWS
WE'VE GOT A FRESH COAT OF PAINT (THE FRESH COAT OF PAINT IS UP)
BUT WE STILL FEEL MIGHTY USED
LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES

WITH REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS, BLUE & RED COUNTIES
INTERSTATES, CUL-DE-SACS, FARMERS & TOWNIES
DIVIDED BY THE RIVER LIKE IN HISTORY BOOKS
WE ALL SMILE NOW BUT IT'S WORSE THAN IT LOOKS

POOR PEOPLE, RICH PEOPLE, MOSTLY IN BETWEEN
IT'S HARD TO GET OUT & IT MAKES US MEAN
BASEBALL, MALLS, & THE MUSIC SCENE
THE DRUGS, THE DRINKING & THE GETTING CLEAN

YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY TO GET PERSPECTIVE
FUNNY HOW DISTANCE MAKES YOU REFLECTIVE

LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF GOOD & BAD NEWS
WE'VE GOT A FRESH COAT OF PAINT (THE FRESH COAT OF PAINT IS UP)
BUT WE STILL FEEL MIGHTY USED
LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES

WE'VE GOT BRIARS & HIPPIES & FREAKS & GEEKS
THE LOG CABIN BOYS & THE LESBIAN CHIC
ALTERNA-CHICK TATS & THE INDIE ROCK SWOOP
HEAVY METAL BASEMENTS & GARAGE BANDS TOO
ACOUSTIC, PUNK, & COVER BANDS, PLUS THE BLUES
AND OH MY GOD WE'VE EVEN GOT YOU

IF I CAN'T MAKE A LIVING I'LL AT LEAST MAKE ART
IF I CAN'T REACH THE END THEN AT LEAST IT'S A START

LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF GOOD & BAD NEWS
WE'VE GOT A FRESH COAT OF PAINT (THE FRESH COAT OF PAINT IS UP)
BUT WE STILL FEEL MIGHTY USED
LITTLE BIG CITY BLUES
