Cool City

Icy steel shooting through concrete, cool city
 Mountains of glass reflect the sky
 Everybody feels real good in cool city
 Each day brings a new surprise
 Johnny came two-thousand miles to the cool city
 He came to see what makes things tick
 He cut his hair and bought new clothes in the cool city
 Finally found his life's ambition

 How to do nothing perfectly
 To do it with style so gracefully
 'Cause life is so delicious in Cool City

 Outside no one's on the street
 Don't stop or you'll miss a beat

 Someone's standing in a doorway -- cool city
 You open the door and check him out so casually
 The music's blasting all night long in cool city
 They recognize his face, so it's all right
 This one knew the right address
 He even knew someone in a band
 While the others wait all night standing there in
 Cool city

 So hard to make the right friends
 You might have to sell some skin
 The nights go on forever

 The blacks they all hate the whites
 The whites think they're tough, but they're not, cool city
 The boys go out with each other
 The girls who will be in movies

 If you're high, you're in the right place, cool city
 Animals seek out their own kind

 Shake some hands and take a lunch in cool city
 Someone's going to try and tempt you
 Listen to all the brilliant plans in the cool city
 It's all free now, but you'll pay later with your soul
 Pray to the the objects on the wall
 That you'll stay young and never grow old
 So come on, the water's fine
 Have a drink, snort a line
 'Cause the nights get very chilly here in cool city
