City Living

It’s been almost 15 years
I’ve been walking these streets
The City is a jealous lover
She likes to turn up the heat
I give her what I think she needs
But she just keeps taking
I try to love her like a man should
But my heart keeps breaking
City living isn’t all fun and games
But it sure is worth it in the end
It will try to steal your dream
But like De la Vega said, “don’t let it.”
I’ve been on Delancey
In my head again
John Moreland at the Bowery Ballroom
That music, medicine
It’s been a magical six months
But the lows really got me down
I try to get up when it hits me
That darlin’ I’m a man, now
City living isn’t all fun and games
But it sure is worth it in the end
It’ll try to steal your dream
But like De la Vega said, “don’t let it.”
My heart was broken on Houston
The City wrapped me in her arms
She was there when my mind wasn’t
The City is my passion
I was singing at Vagabond
Til they put that place on ice
I quit smoking to stay living here
It’s where I want to spend my life
City living isn’t all fun and games
But it sure is worth it in the end
It’ll try to steal your dream
But like De la Vega said, “don’t let it.”

Orlando

I thought that it was Disney and I didn’t wanna go
It was so many miles through the sun but I didn’t know
The people I would meet there who were warmer than the air
They chased away my prejudice I’d acquired unaware
Some places you think aren’t cool until you go, go, go
I was raised in a religion that preferred chastity
It taught that men can sleep with women
Not girls with girls or a boy with me
Eventually I grew enough to escape that bigotry
Because faith is no excuse to hate somebody who’s living free
But some people believe whatever they are told, told, told
Orlando I’m sorry
For ever thinking you weren’t cool
Brothers and sisters I’m sorry
For ever judging you
I love you I love you I love you I love you
People might bring weapons into places that we go
To dance and sing and celebrate and hold each other close
But I will not give way to fear or hatred’s easy sway
The truth about tomorrow’s sun
Is it always comes up today
I choose to hope even when it seems insane, insane, insane
Orlando I’m sorry
For ever thinking you weren’t cool
Brothers and sisters I’m sorry
For ever judging you
I love you I love you I love you I love you
