Quarterflash - Welcome to the City lyrics

Two dollar tips and the lipstick cigarettes Get yourself a job with your fingertips Too many tickets for the backseat matinee Two hours later and you're looking for another face Don't ask for love Don't ask for pity Don't ask for me Welcome to the city Four hundred dollars bus a room in the city With a whole lot of people and a hole in the ceiling Freeze in the winter, die in the summer Seventeen kids next door without a mother Hey, if you see me coming up the stairs Please don't confuse me with someone who cares Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby I'm really... You got some letter, it's a recommendation Your best friend's ex sent a copy to the station And he knows some agent through a distant realtion An inside connection with a map and directions Ah, too bad you came Too bad you waited Too bad for you You're over-educated Welcome to the city...I'm glad you made it, baby I'm really glad Don't ask for love Don't ask for pity Don't ask for me Welcome to the city
