Lyrics for City Song

Aeroplane fell, came right through my ceiling American cheese on blackened telephone I called up the office, said, "I'm not coming in" They didn't know my name, I didn't know my name Oh, please (you're not alone) Cast light over me (you're not alone) This is the city light Oh, please (you're not alone) Cast light endlessly (you're not alone) This is the city light But the money came in, my creature of habit The centre is missing, I feel like an ambulance Oh, you are a woman and I am a man We live in the city and we do what we can Oh, please (you're not alone) Cast light over me (you're not alone) Yeah, this is the city light Oh, please (you're not alone) Cast light endlessly (you're not alone) Oh, this is the city light How can you laugh at it if you don't know the joke? Oh, please (you're not alone) How hard can this be? (You're not alone) Under the city light Oh, please (you're not alone) Cast light over me (you're not alone) Under the city light I see (you're not alone) Cast light endlessly (you're not alone) Under the city light Under the city light
