dreaming of the city (early demo) Songtext

there's something i wanna tell you,
but it's difficult to say.
'cause the words sound like a robot under water
when you're so far away.

flood insurance for homes.

if i only had a gutter,
i could catch it when it falls.
but my basement's slowly filling up with water.
it's running down the concrete walls.
you could say it's been a bad year
and you'd be saying something true.
it's almost like a cheap print of a van gogh painting,
one with seven shades of blue.

i've been dreaming of the city.
what a wonderful place to be.
i've been dreaming of the city
but the the city, the city doesn't dream of me.
every day is like a nightmare.
every day is like a sin.
every day i watch the weather.
a low pressure jinx is moving in.

flood insurance for homes
who never think about it
shouldn't be without it, oh no.
