[Verse 1]
First time I came to the city, I knew just what I'd do
I got me some wheels, and a grip I could feel
Some wine and some tape for my reel-to-reel
This time around, I thought I'd make a good thing last
I thought I'd do a whole lot better
I tried to make sense, and I was getting quite good at it
Somehow, I got washed up and I lost it entirely
[Pre-Chorus]
So take one more look at me, honey
Why am I not sitting on top of your hill?
I'm not in the mood, not fit for the climb
I do what I can, but I'm falling behind you
[Chorus]
Look at what I'm willing to give you
You can have both of my eyes
Throw me in a hole and let me fade away slow
But please don't abandon my soul
[Verse 2]
The second time I came to the city, things got really weird
Some things never change- I lost it once again
I took a chance, it got me here
But where that is is not too clear
[Chorus]
Look at what I'm willing to do for you
You can have both of my eyes
Throw them in a hole and let them rot away slow
But please don't abandon my soul
Please don't abandon my soul
