You lie on the sofa -- it's like I don't know you.

Now we never talk. We never walk outside.

It's the city outside.



I look out the window

And see the streets below

Cars and the people

Lonely church steeple surrounded by grey

We need to move away



<DE>

Here we go over & over & over

You're talking about it again.

Let's move out, relocate

This place is in a state.

Let's buy a pig or a hen.



<SC>

We need some open space.

We need a change of pace.



<DE>

So life here in town girl is getting you down

And you long for a change but wont it seem strange with fields around?

We wont hear a sound.



The grass may be greener, the air may be cleaner, but I love the city

I know it's not pretty, but at least there is life.



<SC>

You call this life?



<DE>

Here we go over & over & over

You're talking about it again.

Let's move out, relocate

This place is in a state.

Let's buy a pig or a hen.



<SC>

We need some open space.

We need a change of pace.



Stars shine bright in the country.

Life feels right. Won't you trust me?



<DE>

Hand me the remote.

I'm not sure that we'll cope

In the middle of nowhere

Surrounded by fresh air.

I'd miss my mates.



<SC>

This place is a state



You'd do your work from home, online or on the phone

I could grow vegetables.

<DE>

Sounds like a load of balls.

<SC>

Let's relocate.

<DE>

I said I'd miss my mates.



Here we go over & over & over

You're talking about it again.

Let's move out, relocate.

This place is in a state.

Let's buy a pig or a hen.



<SC>

We need some open space.

We need a change of pace.
