Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?

Well, you ride around on a bright shiny cloud
And you think that you've found true happiness
There's no method in your mind
And your tempers are kind
Is it too much to ask to give it a rest?

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people , what do you have?

I'm a part of you, you don't wanna be
I'm an unexpected visitor who's dropped in for tea

But I'm not so low you don't even know that I'm here
You can't even see

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?
