[Intro] [Verse 1] Think of London small city Dark dark in the daytime People sleep sleep in the daytime If they want to if they want to [Hook] I’m checking them out I’m checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out Good points some bad points But it all works out though I’m a little freaked out I’ll Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in [Verse 2] Lot of rich people in Birmingham Lot of ghosts in a lot of houses Look over there! Dry ice factory Good place to get some thinking done [Hook] I’m checking them out I’m checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out there’s Good points some bad points But it all works out you know I’m a little freaked out I’ll Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in [Instrumental break] (x8) [Hook] I’m checking them out I’m checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out there’s Good points some bad points But it all works out sometimes I’m a little freaked out I’ll Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in Help me [Verse 3] Did I forget to mention forget to mention Memphis Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks Do I smell? I smell home cooking It’s only the river it’s only the river [Hook] I’m checking them out I’m checking them out I got it figured out I got it figured out there’s Good points some bad points But it all works out sometimes I’m a little freaked out I’ll Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in I will Find a city find myself a city to live in

La chanson évoque la quête d'un endroit où vivre, en explorant différentes villes tout en notant leurs aspects positifs et négatifs. Elle souligne le contraste entre la vie urbaine et la somnolence ambiante, suggérant un désir de trouver sa place dans un monde parfois déroutant. Les références à des villes emblématiques comme Londres, Birmingham et Memphis illustrent cette recherche d'identité et de réconfort. Le personnage principal semble naviguer dans l'incertitude, mais garde espoir de dénicher un lieu qui lui correspondra pleinement, où il pourra se sentir chez lui. À travers cette exploration, il cherche à se retrouver, à comprendre qui il est vraiment dans un environnement en constante évolution.
