Shakey Graves - Century City Lyrics

Century City rapidly became a hub of human activity
Welcome to Century City
Century City, a city within a city
Century City, please watch your step

Picture me in Century City
Avenue of the stars
It ain't Beverly Hills but it ain't too far
Sport coat suit, jacket or blazer
I recommend you dress to impress
Come to Century City
And meet the best of the worst of the best of the best, yeah

I must admit I never got no pleasure
From the tinsel of old Hollywood
I'm just a man in search of some answers
And things are looking mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty good
Down in Century City, Century City
Sweet, sweet Century City
My home sweet home

My family was so surprised
I looked them straight in the eyes
Said, I'm moving far away from home
I threw my finger on the map
I said, I'm never coming back
Yeah, I guess I knew it all along

So picture me in Century City
Avenue of the stars
It ain't Beverly Hills but it ain't too far

Ain't like they mind mixing business and pleasure
Forget the tinsel of old Hollywood
I'm just a man in search of the future
Where the living is tight and the loving is good
Down in Century City
Sweet Century City, oh
Sweet, sweet Century City
My home sweet home, yeah, whoa

Century City
Sweet Century City
Sweet, sweet Century City
I want you for my own
I want you for my own

Century City, a city within a city
A home away from home
Century City, the future is now
The future is now, the future is now
