The Brandals - City Boy Lyrics

Once there was a tale that everyone knew about
A boy who walked the street, black and blue

Stories been told and passed along
That the boy leave no trail of his word and clues

Carry his burden and pain all along
Through the darkest night under cruel city light

Cold and bitter tastes of dusty road
Is the only thing that keeps him going through and through

City boy you're always lost and never found
Ain't nothin' but love, will keep on bringing you down
Only love will take you down, under the ground
Ain't nothin' but love, will keep on bringing you down
Keep on, keep on coming...coming down! Going down!

People keep stabbing you on the back.
Pretty girls, they only love coke and cash in stack.

Young blood keeps dancing around and round
Getting all loved-up, keep moving on non-stop

Shooting up like the living dead
The queen of back alley sloppy coming, giving head

Sick and tired looking for one-way out
But the street reminds him always he got no time to quit
