City Streets - Jehst

From the lush green

To the sandy beach

From the seven seas

To the mountain peaks

From the lush green

To the sandy beach

From the seven seas

To the mountain peaks

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, uh, yo)

From the forest trees

To the city streets

Yellow sunshine bouncing off the concrete

(To the city streets)

London

(City streets)

Birmingham

(City streets)

Chi-Town

(City streets)

New York

(City streets)

Melbourne

(City streets)

Tokyo

(City Streets)

Oslo

(City Streets)

Berlin

Ride the tubes and buses

Commuting through the rushing

Headphones bumping, bopping to the looped percussion

Returning to that tribal nature I’ve been losing touch with

The world’s my oyster

Every time I touch in

I’m trying to reach beyond that

Broaden my horizons

Surely I’m alive for something more than 9-to-5ing

Living for the city, now the city lives within me

The pain, the pity, the glory;

the story that she brings me

From underground tunnel to skyscraper chimney

I’m trying to scrap the paper quick, before the bailiffs get me

I state it plain and simply, this nanny state can never babysit me

Gentrify the ghetto, still, we’re staying gritty

So turn the shit up loud

When the skies are overcast and all you can see is cloud

We do the city proud

Where every man’s a king, and every park bench a throne

And every corner like the courtyard of ancient Rome

Lay your hat down and make it home

And may God bless the child that’s got his own, that’s got his own

I’m in the zone, I’m in the zone

From the lush green

To the sandy beach

From the seven seas

To the mountain peaks

(City streets)

Johannesburg

(City streets)

Glasgow

(City streets)

Amsterdam

(City streets)

Manchester

From the forest trees

To the city streets

Yellow sunshine bouncing off the concrete

(City streets, city streets, city streets, city streets)

Were you there

When they crucified my Lord?)]
