Cool City

[Verse 1] Icy steel shoots through concrete Cool City Mountains of glass reflect the sky oh Everybody feels real good in Cool City Each day brings a new surprise oh [Verse 2] Johnny came two-thousand miles to the cool city He came to see what makes things tick oh He cut his hair and bought new clothes in Cool City Finally found his life’s ambition oh [Chorus 1] How to do nothing perfectly To do it with style so gracefully ’Cause life is so delicious in Cool City [Post-Chorus 1] Outside no one’s on the street Don’t stop or you’ll miss a beat [Verse 3] Someone’s standing in a doorway Cool City They open the door and check him out so casually The music’s blasting all night long in Cool City They recognize his face so it’s all right [Chorus 2] This one knew the right address He even knew someone in a band While the others wait all night standing there in Cool City [Post-Chorus 2] So hard to make the right friends You might have to sell some skin   [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] The nights go on forever [Verse 4] The blacks they all hate the whites oh The whites think they’re tough but they’re not Cool City The boys go out with each other oh The girls who will be in movies     [Verse 5] If you’re high you’re in the right place cool city Animals seek out their own kind oh Shake some hands and take a lunch in Cool City Someone’s going to try and tempt you oh Listen to all the brilliant plans in Cool City It’s all free now but you’ll pay later with your soul [Chorus 4] Pray to the the objects on the wall That you’ll stay young and never grow old So come on the water’s fine Have a drink snort a line ’Cause the nights get very chilly here in Cool City
