Song Lyrics

Hello city, hey

Another night at the palace
'Cause there is nothin' else to do
Oh, oh, ah, ha
The same people, the same drinks and
The same music, the same quicksand
I think this harbor town is waist deep and sinkin' fast

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh (ba, dum, tum, tum, hey, hum)
Hello city, hello city, hello city, hey

Second night at the warehouse
And my mock turtleneck just reeks
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
From the liquor room to the change room
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room
I think this seaside beer hall should sink into the bay

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh (ba, dum, tum, tum, ba, dum)
Hello city, hello city, hello city

Maybe I caught you at a bad time
Maybe I should call you back next week
Maybe half the fault is mine that the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street

It's 3 o'clock in the morning
And I'm hungry so let's eat
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Climb down three flights
Too the street lights
And the bar fights
We're just takin' in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hello city, hello city, hello city, hey

What a good place to be
Don't believe them, cause they speak a different language
And it's happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
It's happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hello city, eh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hello city, eh
