Another day's gone by
And I've still got all my pieces in place
I have to say that I'm amazed, I've been fooling
Traffic and alcohol, cigarettes and medicine
And so on
I've done it all, and I'm still going strong
But there's no doubt about it
This city holds a lot of thrills
But it ain't got no substitute
For mountains and hills
And the children always end up popping pills
And the radio keeps saying "this city kills"
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
Yeah
Another day's gone by and the city's getting ready to explode
That's what it feels like anyway, but how would I know?
But I can't sit around and wait for something to happen no more
That's why I'm walking right out of that door
But there's no doubt about it
This city holds a lot of thrills
But it ain't got no substitute
For mountains and hills
And all our children always end up popping pills
And on the radio, the newsman
Always keeps repeating that "this city kills"
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
To catch me when I fall
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
Yeah
I'm driving my car through the pouring rain
Wash off all the wounds, and leave no stains
Being out, looking in
Makes me feel more sane
I'm never driving in, to look out again
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
To catch me when I fall
Oh baby I need you to catch me when I fall
Yeah
I need you to catch me when I fall
I need you to catch me when I fall
