car alarm goes off right beside me, a person sleeping in a bus stop yeahhh…
Wave at a friend as she beeps and drives on by, walk right by an undercover cop
It’s been a long cold winter, maybe the spring is finally here…
I don’t know just where I’m going, but I sure know where I’ve been
Walking around high and wide-eyed, looking for my only friend
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
Catch a dealer’s eye on the corner, flash some money in my fingers
(lead) boys dressed like girls by the liquor store, my gaze always lingers
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
I know this city can scare away, a soul that’s full of fear
But I don’t feel like I belong anywhere, that’s why I feel safe here
Nicollet Avenue smiled at me and I smiled right back
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled right back
Yearning for subconscious feelings shining under broken streetlights
Last night the city smiled at me and I smiled and I smiled right back
I can’t take this fucking city, rots you from the inside out
Some days I know what I’m doing, some days I’m full of doubt
It’s been a long cold winter, maybe spring is almost here
