My Citys Gone

They boarded up my favorite bar The Frenchman lost his restaurant And the secret alleys were rearranged I woke one day and it had changed

My city's gone My city's gone I lost another one

On forty-three, my heart once beat On forty-five, I came alive And there was a spirit, so young and free It spoke to you, it spoke to me

[(Kanye West):] My city's gone (my city, oh oh) Oh no, my city's gone (my city's gone) I lost another one

I met a man who coughed and swore That it had been changing since it was born That it was I and nothing more From twenty-three to thirty-four

My city's gone My city's gone And I have to go My city's gone

I still found me back in the mall I will not decline Still feeling lost and nothing more I feel lost in time Does anybody happen to know (happen to know) Way after I'm Still feeling lost and manageable I say nothing's right Tell it all from the heart I'm sitting out at the bar Tell it all that I'm making my way
