The Backstays - Far from Uptown Lyrics

Gone the city is sinking low
Low down together, together we go
Straddle city line when I don't know my side
We sit alone down the Digby Ferry Road

Did you find printed in the headlines
This that the other monopolized
Nothing in these words thrown in by the herd
Better write what they say if you want to get paid

Far from uptown we go
Far from uptown the river flows

Three sheets to the wind, in circles I spin
Tonight tonight I'm frigid in the night
I'm sitting on the brink a tinder box man don't you blink

Far from uptown we go
Far from uptown the river flows
Far from uptown we go
Far from uptown the river flows

Someday were running cause there's no one coming
If there's no one coming better start running
