Well, I standing quiet, alone in a - crowded disco When a man I did not know - showed me the door And told me I had to go Well, that kind of humiliation never happens on farm That's why - city livin' does the pysche such harm And I said Fire escapes don't work - until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick - you won't want more Saving sanity's no trick when your livin' - outdoors Well, it did not take me long to realise my mistake When garbage trucks messed up my dreams I knew my dreams were fake I don't know how people - gonna live like this Pigeons might enjoy it but I - can't live in this mess And I said Fire escapes don't work until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick - you can't chew and talk Saving sanity's a trick when your livin' in a room the size of a shoebox So, finally all the wires - and plastic got to me Ideas and realisations were passing right through me I did not take a train - a plane or bus with wings Man wasn't meant to fly Besides walkin' does the same thing: gets me outta here Fire escapes don't work until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick - you won't want more Saving sanity's a trick when you livin' on someone elses floor Hi What's up? How you doin'? It's good to see ya What's your name again? I can't remember Time's up I gotta go
