Wilco — Capitol City lyrics

Lyrics

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 the subway token
Anyway, the balls 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’ve stay right there
Breathe in that country air
You wouldn’t like it here
Capitol towers radiate a steam vent
Scream along with the clarinets and argue
Echo down the hall
I can’t sleep, I can’t wake up Shaken 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’ve stay right there
Breathe in that country air
You wouldn’t like it here
Capitol city, skyline photo
Picture postcards so 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
