lyrics

Where the grass is greener and the streets are meaner
Plants don't grow there anyway
That seed you were feeding it kept on depleting
Because the weeds they grew in the way

But you will find plenty men and well employed boys
To take you in that new landscape
And I know you'll be fooled eating forbidden food
Thinking that you made a great escape

But you won't be short of beauty, that comes easy
As you stand towering over the rest
It's a useless tool when you found an excuse
To abandon what's true with your nest

So go, hide in the big city

Where the lust is brand new and the sex it is loose
The outcomes can go anyway
Fumbling through the phone, fingering for a song
That captures the mood of the day

With that mystery man and his mystery hands
Committing crimes on a stolen body
It's nothing to you but women want to come through
Because they know I'm a treasure at sea

So don't think I'm missing out, thirsty in a drought
When you let strangers through your door
While you gave up the gold the gold gave up
Now it's worth so much more

So go, hide in the big city
So go, find what you need

Hurry hide under covers, hurry hide from the others
So that no one can see
It's my fault, I know, these sexual woes
Your tiny face, smooth skin, and weak knees

I keep my words wise, I keep honest eyes
When I'm busy trespassing
Let the pleasures unwind all through the night
A Princesses mouth on a Kings

With an experienced hand I take what I can
From a girl so tender and sweet
When one fire goes another one grows
Making the circle complete

So go, hide in the big city
So go, find what you need
You can be fooled but your heart won't be
So go, hide in the big city
