lyrics

Just came in from Topeka
Hey DC nice to meet ya
My first time in the city
I want to go somewhere nice

Welcome to the capital!
You wanna find a bar?
Well watch out brother
don't go too far
I know a good place
ten blocks away
you can fight for a seat
with all the neuroscientists!
You wanna get there?
take the train
don't stand on the left
or the people complain
don't block the machines
or the people get pissed
don't let 'em think
you're just another tourist!

City streets
A to Z
Cabs of blue, red and green

Now this yellow one's orange
flagged it down on a corner
man it's taking a long time
there's my state on a street sign

Sorry pal, got to go another way
got to get around this motorcade
I'll get you there, don't you fret
just sit back and watch the little TV set
Hang on man, I gotta check
did you mean Northeast
or was it Northwest?
Here we go
it's just up ahead
that'll be $15.50!

Took a seat
had a drink
saw that man on C-Span
I look around and see it's not so strange at all

A woman from Chicago
she finally left that town
says she's glad just to be here
after years of wandering around
after a day in the District
I could make it here somehow
all the restless are natives
I think I get it now
