To The City - Gene

Onwards to the city

Where new money awaits

Far further from the clatter

Of your past life’s mistakes

Oh, I’ve seen it all before

You found the right cliff top

For saying goodbye

As life swung its elbows

And spat in your eye

Oh, I’ve seen it all before and more

I know what can happen

When you’re honest and true

But it’s too late to change now

Your years flew too soon

Oh, I’ve seen it all before and more

So onwards to the city

Where new money awaits

Far further from the clatter

Of your past life’s mistakes

Oh, I’ve seen it all before

I’ve done it all and more
