Paroles de la chanson

They come from every state to find

Some dreams were meant to be declined

Tell the man what did you have in mind

What have you come to do.

No turning water into wine

No learning while you're in the line

I'll take you to the broken sign

You see these lights are blue.

Come and get it

Lost it at the city limit

Say goodbye

'Cause they will find a way to trim it

Everybody

Lookin' for a silly gimmick

Gotta get away

Can't take it for another minute

This town is made of many things

Just look at what the current brings

So high it's only promising

This place was made on you

Tell me baby what's your story

Where you come from

And where you wanna go this time

Tell me lover are you lonely

The thing we need is

Never all that hard to find

Tell me baby what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you wanna go this time

You're so lovely are you lonely

Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Some claim to have the fortitude

Too shrewd to blow the interlude

Sustaining pain to set a mood

Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone

Jungle Brothers on the microphone

Getting over with an undertone

It's time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty baby

When your nose is in the nitty gritty

Life could be a little shitty

Life could be a little shitty

What a pity

Boston and Kansas City

Looking for a hundred

But you only ever found a fitty.

Three fingers in the honeycomb

You ring just like a xylophone

Devoted to the chromosome

The day that you left home.

Tell me baby what's your story

Where you come from

And where you wanna go this time

Tell me lover are you lonely

The thing we need is

Never all that hard to find

Tell me baby what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you wanna go this time

You're so lovely are you lonely

Giving up on the innocence you left behind.

Tell me baby what's your story

Where you come from

And where you wanna go this time

Tell me lover are you lonely

The thing we need is

Never all that hard to find

Tell me baby what's your story

Where do you come from

And where you wanna go this time

You're so lovely are you lonely

Giving up on the innocence you left be…hind.
