Capitol city, skyline photo
Skyscrapers shine, the sun´s so
Low in the sky
Secretaries at the hot dog vendors

Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers
Rolling by
I can´t call with a subway token
Anyway, the phones are all broken
I wish you were here
Better yet I wish I was there with you

You wouldn´t like it here
You should stay right there
Breathing that country air
You wouldn´t like it here

Capitol towers radiate a steam vent
Scream along with the clarinets and arguments
Echo down the hall

I can´t sleep, I can´t wake up

Shaking up, maybe we should break up
I wish you were here
Better yet I wish I was there with you

You wouldn´t like it here
You should stay right there
Breathing that country air
You wouldn´t like it here

Capitol city, skyline photo
Picture postcards, sad and lonesome
Low in the sky
I can´t smile when my heart´s still broken
Far away, in love and unspoken
I wish you were here
Or I was there with you
