about

City life. Inspired by Nathan's visit to Pigeon Lake.

lyrics

Well I think I'll have to pack it up,
With city life I've had it up to here,
Cause if I have to spend another minute
In this photograph of everything a life's supposed to be,
May as well turn in my warn out soul for what good is its use to me?
I'd rather be marooned, without a dollar to spend,
An island dwelling recluse beach bum, cynical nun.

Hey gang,
Listen up!
Cause if you wanna leave your cares behind,
I've got
For you a new idea
Of happiness beyond the things in hand.
So just throw down all your shackles and your sad responsibilities,
The answer is beyond the water's beautiful image, brother,
Revolution's simply taking it in.

Well I think I'll have to pack it up,
With city life I've had it up to here,
Cause if I have to spend another minute
In this photograph of everything a life's supposed to be,
May as well turn in my warn out soul for what good is its use to me?
I'd rather be marooned, without a dollar to spend,
An island dwelling recluse beach bum, cynical nun.
