Heart Of The City

(album: Tracks On Wax 4 - 1978)

Well, in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
Now I ain't got one minute
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
Well, I ain't never going back

I'm looking for a home
In the heart of the city

Now I'm stepping on the street
And I'm stepping up the air
Yeah, I'm looking for a lover
Looking, looking everywhere
Maybe I met with a chance
I hear clickety clack
It's a girl, my lord
I see her
Stop
Check
Turn and double back

I'm looking for a lover
In the heart of the city
I'm looking
I'm looking
I'm looking
I'm looking
I'm looking, looking, looking, looking, looking everywhere
In the heart of the city

Well, in the heart of the city
Well, it's part of the stars
I hear that cast set music
On a thousand guitars
Hey, the boys are on the prowl
They're checking the meat
They know a bird in the hand
Is worth two on the street

They're checking the meat
In the heart of the city

Heart, heart of the city
Heart, heart, oh yeah
