Joanna Newsom - Leaving the City Lyrics

don't let me go
i'm falling

i'm crying on the floor
cats come to help

pain is striking
in my heart
ouch

i'm leaving the city
forever, to live with johnny

johnny, gives me money
he wraps me in a blanket
calls me his 'lil burrito'

oh my, my, leaving the city
piano in the back, guitar in the back
i'm going back

oooh, for a while i missed my mom
then she threw lettuce at me

i watched the sun come up
i watched my arms fall down

i'm tired of this, tired of this
pick me to be on your team

fair and mighty, my little bird
i'm traveling, i'm leaving the city

fake a smile, show me teeth
i'm hungry for a beautiful hug

turn me inside out and give me to the bears
i'm leaving the city

(oh mama where's your sauce) i'm leaving the city
