Oingo Boingo - Cool City Lyrics
Icy steel shooting through concrete, cool cityMountains of glass reflect the skyEverybody feels real good in cool cityEach day brings a new surpriseJohnny came two-thousand miles to the cool cityHe came to see what makes things tickHe cut his hair and bought new clothes in the cool cityFinally found his lifes ambitionHow to do nothing perfectlyTo do it with style so gracefullycause life is so delicious in cool cityOutside no ones on the streetDont stop or youll miss a beatSomeones standing in a doorway -- cool cityYou open the door and check him out so casuallyThe musics blasting all night long in cool cityThey recognize his face, so its all rightThis one knew the right addressHe even knew someone in a bandWhile the others wait all night standing there inCool citySo hard to make the right friendsYou might have to sell some skinThe nights go on foreverThe blacks they all hate the whitesThe whites think theyre tough, but theyre not, cool cityThe boys go out with each otherThe girls who will be in moviesIf youre high, youre in the right place, cool cityAnimals seek out their own kindShake some hands and take a lunch in cool citySomeones going to try and tempt youListen to all the brilliant plans in the cool cityIts all free now, but youll pay later with your soulPray to the the objects on the wallThat youll stay young and never grow oldSo come on, the waters fineHave a drink, snort a linecause the nights get very chilly here in cool city
