Lucy, she was far away
From all the streets she used to call home
Wondering on the rooftop
Why he didn't call
Lucy her skinny legs
And a little frame of broken bones
On the 16th floor she could as well have jumped
[Chorus]
The city said..
And she replied..
Her father would have never
Approved a flying daughter in Soho
So she took a step back
And swallowed a Luvox
Someone she didn't recognize
In her room walking back and forth
Saying this city just chews and spits back
She has to come back home
[Chorus]
The city said..
And she replied..
Staring at the ceiling
The swinging path of a crack in the wall
Voices from the other room
Her parents sobbing slowly
Lucy running down the stairs
On the street the first ride to New York
Pa**ing by a cornerstore
Soho is her home
[Chorus]
The city called..
And she replied..
