Alex the Astronaut - Rockstar City

Wild smiles from the streets
I think they're getting high
I don't mind the sunny puddles, it's hot, my socks and shoes will dry
Something's put me in a daze
Did they tell you? I got lost today
And I know the streets are numbered
Welcome to New York they'll say


I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe


Mum I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud


Lunch in Soho, Noho, I don't know, they seem the same to me
Mumma foam took me from Noho, the afternoon was looking free
Wheel the horses from their feet, the taxi's good enough for me
The money trees can't sell to me, the barks, the gardens will for free


I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe


Mum I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud


Crying at the garden edge, won't let you see the flowers that grow in spring
Past the front desk bearing glassy eyes, he's working there too late
So I stare long enough to care, still ideas that I don't get
Coloured hair and fancy dresses will be the theme here I would guess
It's time to go I've got a show, breathe slow as jelly fills my legs


I think they could tell I was nervous
'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground
But I made my way back through the chorus
And the half baked crowd started cheering quite loud
And I didn't know if it was for me
So I lifted my eyes from my feet
Oh was it something to see
I smiled and remembered to breathe


Mum I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
Oh I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud


Yeah I sang in Rockstar City
It can't have been all that pretty
But I sang in Rockstar City I think you'd be proud, think you'd be proud
