Icy steel shooting through concrete, cool city Mountains of
glass reflect the sky Everybody feels real good in cool city
Each day brings a new surprise Johnny came two-thousand miles
to the cool city He came to see what makes things tick He cut
his hair and bought new clothes in the cool city Finally found
his life's ambition How to do nothing perfectly To do it
with style so gracefully 'Cause life is so delicious in
Cool City Outside no one's on the street Don't stop
or you'll miss a beat Someone's standing in a doorway
-- cool city You open the door and check him out so casually
The music's blasting all night long in cool city They
recognize his face, so it's all right This one knew the
right address He even knew someone in a band While the others
wait all night standing there in Cool city So hard to make
the right friends You might have to sell some skin The nights
go on forever The blacks they all hate the whites The whites
think they're tough, but they're not, cool city The
boys go out with each other The girls who will be in movies
If you're high, you're in the right place, cool city
Animals seek out their own kind Shake some hands and take a
lunch in cool city Someone's going to try and tempt you
Listen to all the brilliant plans in the cool city It's
all free now, but you'll pay later with your soul Pray to
the the objects on the wall That you'll stay young and
never grow old So come on, the water's fine Have a drink,
snort a line 'Cause the nights get very chilly here in cool
city
