City Calling

Intro

City calling

City calling

Verse 1

Chipped tile steps where I was born

Shutter half down, the windows warm

Laundry on the wire, a lighter's flame

The block leans close and says my name

Pre-Chorus

Don't ask me how I got here

My feet just know the way

The city grabs my collar

And I don't pull away

Chorus

City calling

City calling

Knocking on my chest

City calling

Verse 2

Back-alley fire in an oil drum glow

Old men laughing, the radio low

Every door I try, it lets me in

Every road out just folds back in

Pre-Chorus

Don't ask me how I got here

My feet just know the way

The city grabs my collar

And I don't pull away

Chorus

City calling

City calling

Knocking on my chest

City calling

Bridge – whispered

Two a.m., the engine hums

Two a.m., here it comes

Two a.m., the engine hums

Two a.m., here it comes

Final Chorus

City calling

City calling

Knocking on my chest

City calling
