Dreaming of the City

At dusk the stars feel awkward
They're so hesitant to shine
Late at night when we're all tired and sleeping
They light the world that we leave behind
Lately I've been chasing comets
In a spaceship on TV
When you go out at night you get piss drunk and comment
On how much you mean to me
There's something I wanna tell you
But it's so difficult to say
'Cause baby the words sound like we're talking underwater
And you're so, you're so far away
Well if I only had a gutter
I could catch it when it falls
But my basement's slowly filling up with water
And it's running down the concrete walls
And you could say it's been a bad year
And you'd be saying something true
Well it's almost like, it's almost like
A cheap print of a Picasso painting
One with seven shades of blue
And I've been dreaming of the city
What a wonderful place to be
I've been dreaming of the city, oh boy
But the city, the city doesn't dream of me
Yeah the city, the city's gonna let me be
I'm almost out of here
No more wasting time watching the Weather Channel
I'm almost out of here
No more reading the road maps, see I'm ready to travel
I'm almost out of here
I've been on my best behavior
I'm putting puzzles together with my grandmas
Almost out of here
I'm almost out of South Dakota
South Dakota, almost
Well I miss the city lights
Well I miss the city lights
Well I miss the silly fights that we used to have
