The City

[Spoken Intro]
Venice, California
Known then as "Venice: Slum by the Sea"

[Verse 1]
There's no need to wear these shades when I drive
I need to see the leap before the stride
There's so much more that can happen, I'm sure that you can imagine
I live around here, let me show you how to walk it, stop the traffic (Say, say)
Them two legs will get you right for action with good brain that get you all the answers
That get you all the cash and fashion, just bat your lashes and

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where you wanna go
But I don't really think that it could get much better
The city I love, city I love, city I love
You tellin' me you wanna break free, I bet you never, bet you never

[Chorus]
Powder your nose, love
Smoke if you want to (Yeah)
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl, it's all for you (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)

[Interlude]
(Go, go, go-oh, ah) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-oh, ah) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Go, go, oh-oh, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-oh, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Go, ah, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Oh, ah, go-go, ah) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Go, go, go-go, ah) Tell me where you wanna go, oh (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Ah, go, go-go, go, ah) Just do tell me where you wanna go (It's all for you)

[Verse 2]
So when you're living the dream, is it hard to see? Does your heart beat heavenly?
I think it's much more than the green leaf but it helps of course
There's only one season, can you believe the way that they talk about my paradise?
We don't need that kind of vibe, no, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me where you're from, girl
Tell me where you wanna get to
The city I love, city I love, city I love
You wanna break free on me, I bet you never, bet you never

[Chorus]
Powder your nose, love
Smoke if you want to (Yeah)
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl, it's all for you

[Bridge]
Don't tell me where you're from, girl
Tell me where you wanna get to
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl, it's all for you (Go, go, go-oh, go, tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)

[Outro]
(Go, go, go-oh, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-oh, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Go, go, oh-oh, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go, it's all for you)
(Go, go, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go-oh)
(Go) Tell me where you wanna go
