Lyrics

Fun City

Verse 1: Lately I've been trying to hide...you see I've been much too tired to speak

But you say that I lied...Now that's a poor excuse to hide among these people

that you randomly meet

The chance circumstance, the phony romance...Curse your luck and try to cheat

It's just a game you say you never wanted to play and you go running down the

street ... cryin

Verse 2: “There's emptiness inside! I'm being taken for a ride!” we stop at a Chinese

restaurant

I am down on my knees and you are writing a list of these things that you do and

don't want

Sitting on a fence, sparing no expense, tempting me with the charms that you flaunt

You try to resist when I tare up your list but I'm so sick of these places you haunt

Verse 3: You are dying inside with no one to confide in. Shake your head...How did it get

this way?

I didn't make up the rules. I didn't invite these fools. It's just life and it's no place

to play

Now don't run off and cry. I ain't tellin no lie. Won't you meet me in the light of

day?

Now don't take it so fast and I wish you'd just ask and it kills me to hear you say

Part 2:
Chorus: “I want to go back. Want to go back. Want to go baaaaack to Fun City

I want to go back. Want to go back. Want to go baaaaack to Fun City

Verse 1: The people are strange in Fun City. Don't ask for no change in Fun City

Nor the time of day in Fun City. Nor directions to the subway in Fun City

Hustling here and hurrying there. Don't be no fool. Don't you be no square.

Keep on pushing and going nowhere. And nowhere is where you will be.

Chorus:

Verse 2: The aberrations in Fun City are really such fun in Fun City

You can be anyone in Fun City. And that's the question in Fun City

Always a party Try to be there Never a worry Never a care

So many precious hours to share but nowhere is where you will be

Chorus:

Verse 3: They're laughing at hope in Fun City. And love is a joke in Fun City

They'll light up your smoke in Fun City. Or give you a rope in Fun City

Somebody's dying but nobody cares. Stop for a second to point and to stare

Till it's your turn you can go anywhere but nowhere is where you will be

Chorus and end.
