lyrics

I see your bird has flown
How does it feel to be alone
In a jail of your own fashioning
With reason for the walls
And despair for the ceiling?

I lived in pissed off city
For a long, long time
The landlords they are greedy
And the bums don't take no dimes
In pissed off city

Most the girls are pretty
Most the boys are nice
We can walk on water here
When it turns to ice

At least we got a family
To justify the line
"The scene is so incestuous"
I hear that all the time
In pissed off city

Get yourself some money
Find yourself a wife
Escape from pissed off city to, uh
The countryside

We've all got our dreams
And most of them are pipe
Pass that over to the left
And yes, I'll have some more wine
In pissed off city

I lived in pissed off city
For a long long time
When Hell freezes over
I reckon I'll be doing fine
I'll freeze there with the sinners
For everything I've done
'Cause in pissed off city
You gotta do what you can to have some fun
Fun?
