Cities (Alternate Version)

Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points, some bad points
It all works out
Even though I'm a little freaked out, I'll
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in

Down El Paso way, things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north, come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points, some bad points
It all works out
Even though I'm a little freaked out, I'll
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points, some bad points
Oh, it all works out
Sometimes I'm a little freaked out
I'll find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Help me...

There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there! A dry ice factory
Good place to get some thinking done

I'm checking it out
I'm checking it out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points, some bad points
But it all works out
Even though I'm a little freaked out, I'll
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in

Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking!
It's only the river, it's only the river

I'm checking it out
I'm checking 'em out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points, some bad points
It all works out
Sometimes I'm a little freaked out
I'll find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in
I will find a city
Find myself a city to live in
