about

90% Becky, 10% Cingi. Becky uses Cingi's Taylor 712ce, while Cingi ends up singing the song. (And yes, it is nobody but Cingi writing this)

This song is recorded using 2 tracks, and mixed in mono using NO REVERB.

lyrics

Chinatown never felt so lonely
And the Brooklyn Bridge never looked so tall
The Hudson river never seemed so dirty
And the Village streets never were so small

She got her nails done
and you waited for the sun to set
Form a halo 'round the bed

She told you, "It's all right."
And you did not put up a fight
instead, you put the crown upon her head

Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good
Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good

You had a daughter but she never liked you
Or at least that's what you thought
And you had a son, but he was never grateful
He said, "Goodbye and thanks a lot."

She got her nails done
and you waited for the sun to set
Form a halo 'round the bed

She told you, "It's all right."
And you did not put up a fight
instead, you put the crown upon her head

Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good
Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good

You left the city after years of heartache
Thirty winters sure went by fast
'Cause the city only ever gave you trouble
The kind of love that never lasts

She got her nails done
and you waited for the sun to set
Form a halo 'round the bed

She told you, "It's all right."
And you did not put up a fight
instead, you put the crown upon her head

Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good
Oooh, city runnin' never felt so good
