City star, you swallowed up the sun
What's the heat that lights your houses up
And leaves the chimney windows shunned
You bought yourself a sign
That says you stand for everyone

And once, the light has been delivered
I saw you throw it up
And sell the night to the highest bidder

City star, don't do me any good
Don't throw me any cover
You don't treat me like you should
Just meter off my breath
And turn the stones from gold to soot

And once, the light has been delivered
I saw you throw it up
And sell the night to the highest bidder

City star, you're stepping up the fun
Now the Jones want Japanese
Everything is overdone
The money's in your sleeves
Not fooling anyone

And once, the light has been delivered
I saw you throw it up
And sell the night to the highest bidder

And once, the orange juice sun has sivered
I saw you roll it up
And sell the night to the highest bidder
