This Is The City

from The Senary by Paulie Cohen

/

lyrics

Not from around here, that much is clear.
Bothered with oil lingering in the air.
I see you’re stranded, and feel your fear.
Watch you huddle as I draw near.

What do you want from me my friend?
I’m not who you might think that I am.
I’m no hero, and I won’t pretend,
Just to help since you’re struggling.

This is the city.
I don’t help anybody but myself.

Sweet, sweet, sweet and carefree.
I can’t hardly believe,
That you’re giving this to me.
A gift from your heart,
It gives me a fresh start.
But I won’t tear you apart.
So I cannot say yes,
But let me express,
That you’re no longer in distress.
Your gift's true wealth.
For a man stuck on himself,
When I help you I help myself.
