inna city mamma
Singer:neneh cherry
new york - just like i pictured it - skyscrapers and everything
you crushed me into a pulp - i trusted you
when i loved you from a distance
and your skyline made me a promise
in my safe world to be somebody
in your city to own your streets
where i'd strut covered in money
shattered dreams. it ain't funny
now i look at you with tears in my eyes
the good the bad the ugly
as i start to cry i search for the sky
taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds
they're coming. inna city mamma
you bore another child to be victim of
so destructive when you sing your blues
but i need everything you got
you can't break your promise
you think you're tough i'm stronger
if you're weak i'll eat you up
i'm gonna touch you where you've never been touched before
and by your spine i'll bruise your veins and touch your very core
let my concrete be your red carpet
my shooting galleries your personal starship
use my roots to deliver your body
under my skies where you make your money
you bore another child to be victim of
so destructive when you sing your blues
you hurt me - real bad - inna city love
you meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little pieces
i trusted you and you crushed me into a pulp
