| I live my life in Midtown
|
| It’s halfway 'tween here and there, oh, yeah
|
| I spend my time in Midtown
|
| Tryin' hard to really care
|
| Cheap intoxicated showdown
|
| Cardboard corrugated dreams, oh, yeah
|
| Brother’s givin' you the lowdown
|
| He says, he don’t fit into their schemes
|
| So what’s the use of keeping clean
|
| In Midtown, I like to call it home
|
| It’s my own asphalt
|
| Midtown, where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| Midtown, from the curb
|
| It’s a long, long way to fall
|
| You see 'em hangin' in the doorways
|
| They’re peerin' out with neon eyes
|
| They’re lookin' at ya
|
| Someone’s hangin' in the hallway
|
| Habit’s hard to subsidize
|
| Well, it comes as no surprise
|
| In Midtown, I like to call it home
|
| It’s my own asphalt
|
| Midtown, where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| Midtown, from the curb
|
| It’s a long, long way to fall
|
| In Midtown
|
| I pray to God in Midtown
|
| Semi-automatic faith, oh, Lord, yeah
|
| He’ll be hangin' out in Midtown
|
| He’ll be tryin' to find a trace
|
| Pickin' thru the human waste
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| In Midtown, I like to call it home
|
| It’s my own asphalt
|
| Midtown, where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| Midtown, from the curb
|
| It’s a long, long way to fall
|
| In Midtown, I like to call it home
|
| It’s my own asphalt
|
| Midtown, where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| Midtown, from the curb
|
| It’s a long, long way to fall
|
| In Midtown
|
| In Midtown, whoa, yeah
|
| In Midtown, oh, yeah
|
| Where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
|
| In Midtown
|
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Yeah, in Midtown
|
| Where there ain’t no black
|
| Where there ain’t no white
|
| My Lord, down in Midtown
|
| Oh, yeah |
