Abandoned City - Todd Rundgren, Utopia

Have you seen the color of the water coming out of the tap?

Did you hear the chatter of the hammer when you’re trying to nap?

There’s nothing on the counter, at the A&P store

The bank don’t even bother now to open the door

It ain’t pretty, pity

Abandon city

Everybody over the side

The hour is late, they’re closing the gate, no time to decide

Abandon city, yeah

You better run for your lives

There’s nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive

Someone’s doing a non-stop performance of «The Rape Of The Lock»

No one’s got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven o’clock

And everybody’s looking for a piece of the rock

And I just want to get my Cadillac out of hock

Too much nitty gritty

Abandon city

Everybody over the side

The hour is late, they’re closing the gate, no time to decide

Abandon city

Yeah, you better run for your lives

There’s nothing to spare, the cupboard is bare, the bees have all left the hive

You better run for your lives

You better run for your lives

You better run for your lives

You better run for your lives

You better run for your lives

You better run for your lives
