Big City

[Verse 1]
I tag on the bus, I'm headed back home to Mt. Eden
The driver stares ahead, he's dead inside, a robot even
I shuffle to the middle avoiding feet and bags and curious glimpses
Since I've worn this jersey they've come thick and fast
I get so nervous

[Chorus]
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (We live in it)

[Verse 2]
A man wears headphones in the back seat, seems pretty out-of-it
The bus is lurching forward now so is he, he's gonna vomit
A throaty groan ensues and he collapses on the floor
Drug or alcohol induced whatever it is projectiles issued forth
I yell "turn him on his side, he's gonna choke on his own vomit!"
But nobody cares
Nobody seems to care

(This must be a)

[Chorus]
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (We live in it)
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big City

[Verse 3]
Everybody stares, paralysed by anonymity
Finally, another lady gets up from her seat
She must be a doctor, it's only now that I can start to breathe deeply
Then she leans over his body and starts praying in tongues and Jesus speak
People clog the isles, wild that the bus is stopped now
I'm exasperated, I'm expiring, I'm perspiring, I get out
'cos everyone's late for dinner
They're way to busy for the bus
'cos they cut queues, they don't recycle
Wow, everyone's anonymous!

[Chorus]
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (This is such a)
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (We live in it)

Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now

Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now (We live in it)

La La La La La La La La
La
La La La La

La La La La La La La La
La
La La La La

Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (This is such a)
Big City
Big City
Big City
Big (We live in it)

Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big (this is such a))

Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big city)
Everyone's anonymous now (Big (We live in it))

Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now

Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous now
Everyone's anonymous (We live in it)
