Now we're in twin cities | |
Where the | |
Mississippi rises and then falls | |
One is Minneapolis and the other no less famous is | |
St. Paul’s | |
There are stray dogs on the highway | |
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain | |
When the winds blew last winter | |
I swear England had another hurricane | |
Hurricane…. | |
And we are twin cities, and we are that river | |
From the standing still, we will be delivered | |
Last time in | |
New York was with | |
Mandela and | |
Madonna and | |
The Mets They’re icons of an era where that’s about as famous as it gets (That’s what I call famous, babe) | |
I’ve seen cities full of ticker-tape, and cotton-trains through | |
Utah disappearing out of sight | |
But I’m standing in a city that’s as pretty as an ocean in the night | |
And we are twin cities, and we are that ocean | |
From the standing still, we are set in motion | |
And no one calls me up to say “ | |
How long are you going to be away?” (Are you ever coming back?) | |
Yeah yeah… (Are you ever coming back?) | |
No one calls me up to say “ | |
Don’t let that life lead you astray” (Don’t forget to come back) | |
Yeah! (Don’t forget to come back) | |
They were rioting in | |
Detroit on the night the | |
Pistons won it back to back | |
I was out of there the next day, and | |
I only had just two bags to pack | |
And we are twin cities, and we are one river | |
From the standing still, we will be delivered | |
And we are twin cities, and we are one ocean | |
From the standing still, we are set in motion | |
Yeah… We are twin cities… | |
We are one river… (We… are… twin… cities…) | |
One ocean… | |
We are twin cities… (We… are… twin… cities…) | |
We are one river… | |
Yeah… One ocean….. | |
We… are… twin… cities… one ocean…. |
