Map of the City - Royal Trux

She had a face like a cook

I’d seen in the kitchen of the Anchor Hotel

See her in the city virgin

She’s friendly and you know her well

A thousand-odd broken stallions

Still very quick on the beat

Full-size, the buffet begs before them all you can eat

I’m drawing up a plan for the city

Filled with ten thousand crooked stairs

Some lead up to heaven

Some look through you like you’re not even there

Could it be that I’ll see her

When I cut across the park

Walking along with her hound?

When I look at myself in the shower

I wonder if she’ll see what I see

And will she like what she has found

I rolled out from under the engine

And I saw her standing there

I knew right then that I could love her forever

Even when her breasts are rotted with cancer

I wonder where she went when she said go

A sailor has to masturbate until the ship lands

A lot of things happen out on the open sea

I’m gonna sell Arizona to Japan

I’m drawing up a plan for the city

Filled with ten thousand crooked stares

Some lead up to heaven

Some look through you like you’re not even there
