Alynda Lee Segarra - Living in the City lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I've got her cane Oh and Big Danny is wasted - He said I'm the sweetest thing You know that he's never tasted Mariposa's singing love songs All in her dark apartment Fourteen floors a'birthin And fourteen floors a'dying [Chorus] Livin' in the city We're just livin' in the city Livin' in the city Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard [Verse 2] I'll take you to the stairwell And give you something I can offer You know the heart is not the hopeless The heart is a lonely hunter Hot long summer days... We're just sneakin' by the river Well, I'll lock my dreams away I'll watch the city quiver [Chorus] Livin' in the city We're just livin' in the city We're livin' in the city Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard [Verse 3] Gypsy bit the dust You know the sh**ty hat - it was poisoned You know now everybody wants Just a taste of what we sold him Standing on the roof tops We're just yellin' till the morning All surrounded by the visions Of all who came before them [Chorus] Livin' in the city We're just livin' in the city Oh, livin' in the city Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard Livin' in the city We're just livin' in the city Oh, livin' in the city Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard Oh, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
