O' City:A change of landscapeIs a very good way to escapeThe roof tops from six stories highBreath their heat into November SkyCould be a ship or a trainDriving, sailing, keeping saneWind is blowing through my hair,Feeling fine in this foreign affair,Biding and killing my time,This city's taking me for a ride.Oh City -Be my lover!You and I look good on each other,I'm a girl on the rebound,And I am throwing myself at this town .Oh City -Be my lover!You and I could touch each other.Show me yours and I'll show you mineWe could to have a real good timeI don't…
