Talking Heads - Cities [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Think of London, small city
Dark, dark in the daytime
People sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to

[Hook]
I'm checking them out, I'm checking them out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
Good points some bad points
But it all works out, I'm a little freaked out
Find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in

[Verse 2]
Lot of rich people in Birmingham
Lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there! Dry ice factory
Good place to get some thinking done

[Hook]
I'm checking it out, I'm checking it out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
There's good points some bad points
But it all works out, you know I'm a little freaked out
Find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in

[Instrumental break]

[Hook]
I'm checking them out, I'm checking them out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
There's good points some bad points
But it all works out, sometimes I'm a little freaked out
Find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in

Help me

[Verse 3]
I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river

[Hook]
I'm checking it out, I'm checking it out
I got it figured out, I got it figured out
There's good points some bad points
But it all works out, sometimes I'm a little freaked out
I'll find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in

Find a city, find myself a city to live in
I will find a city, find myself a city to live in
