Now we're in twin cities
|
Where the Mississippi rises and then falls
|
One is Minneapolis and the other no less famous is St. Paul’s
|
There are stray dogs on the highway
|
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain
|
When the winds blew last winter I swear England had another hurricane
|
|
Hurricane….
|
|
And we are twin cities, and we are that river
|
From the standing still, we will be delivered
|
|
Last time in New York was with Mandela and Madonna and The Mets
|
They’re icons of an era where that’s about as famous as it gets
|
(That’s what I call famous, babe)
|
I’ve seen cities full of ticker-tape, and cotton-trains through Utah disappearing out of sight
|
But I’m standing in a city that’s as pretty as an ocean in the night
|
|
And we are twin cities, and we are that ocean
|
From the standing still, we are set in motion
|
And no one calls me up to say “How long are you going to be away?”
|
(Are you ever coming back?) Yeah yeah… (Are you ever coming back?)
|
No one calls me up to say “Don’t let that life lead you astray”
|
(Don’t forget to come back)Yeah! (Don’t forget to come back)
|
|
They were rioting in Detroit on the night the Pistons won it back to back
|
I was out of there the next day, and I only had just two bags to pack
|
|
And we are twin cities, and we are one river
|
From the standing still, we will be delivered
|
And we are twin cities, and we are one ocean
|
From the standing still, we are set in motion
|
|
Yeah…
|
|
We are twin cities…
|
We are one river… (We… are… twin… cities…)
|
One ocean…
|
|
We are twin cities… (We… are… twin… cities…)
|
We are one river… Yeah…
|
One ocean…..
|
|
We… are… twin… cities… one ocean….
