Rockstar City

[Verse 1]
Wild smiles from the streets
I think they're getting high
I don't mind the sunny puddles
It's hot, my socks and shoes will dry
Something's put me in a daze
Did they tell you? I got lost today
And I know the streets are numbered
"Welcome to New York," they'll say

[Pre-Chorus]
I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh, was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe

[Chorus]
Mum, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud

[Verse 2]
Lunch in SoHo, NoHo
I don't know, they seem the same to me
MoMA FOMO took me from NoHo
The afternoon was looking free
Wheel the horses from their feet
The taxi's good enough for me
The money trees can't sell to me
The parks, the gardens will for free

[Pre-Chorus]
I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh, was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe

[Chorus]
Mum, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud

[Bridge]
The crying at the garden edge
Won't let you see the flowers that grow in spring
Past the front desk bearing glassy eyes
He's working there too late
So I stare long enough to care
Still ideas that I don't get
Coloured hair and fancy dresses
Will be the theme here, I would guess
It's time to go, I've got a show
Breathe slow as jelly fills my legs

[Pre-Chorus]
I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh, was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe

[Chorus]
Mum, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh, I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I sang in Rockstar City
It can't have been all that pretty
But I sang in Rockstar City
I think you'd be proud, think you'd be proud
