Oingo Boingo — Cool City Demo

[Verse 1] Icy steel shoots through the concrete, Cool City Mountains of glass reflect the sky, oh All night long the cool cats look for cool kitties Lookin' for love they’ll never find, oh [Verse 2] Johnny came two-thousand miles to Cool City He came to see what makes things tick, oh He bought new clothes and cut his hair in Cool City Finally found his life's ambition, oh [Chorus 1] How to do nothing perfectly To do it with style so gracefully 'Cause life is so delicious here in Cool City [Post-Chorus 1] Outside no one’s on the street Don't stop or you'll miss a beat [Verse 3] Someone's standing in a doorway, Cool City They open the door and check him out so casually The music's blasting all night long in Cool City They recognize his face, so it's alright [Chorus 2] This one knew the right address He even knew someone in a band While the others wait all night standing there in Cool City [Post-Chorus 2] So hard to make the right friends You might have to sell some skin [Bridge] If you're high, you're in the right place, Cool City Animals seek out their own kind, oh Everybody feels real good in Cool City Gotta fight to stay alive, oh [Verse 4] The blacks they all hate the whites The whites think they’re tough, but they’re not The boys go out with each other The girls who will be in movies, oh [Chorus 3] If you want, you have to give Someone must die so you may live The nights go on forever here in Cool City (You're going nowhere) [Bridge] Oh (You’re going nowhere) Cool City (You're going nowhere) Oh (You're going nowhere) Cool City (You're going nowhere) Oh (You’re going nowhere) [Verse 5] Shake some hands and take a lunch in Cool City (You're going nowhere) Somebody's going to try and tempt you, oh (You're going nowhere) Listen to all the brilliant plans in Cool City (You're going nowhere) It's all free now, but you'll pay later with your soul (You're going nowhere) [Chorus 4] Pray to the the objects on the wall That you'll stay young and never grow old So come on in, the water's fine Have a drink, bury a line 'Cause the nights get very chilly here in Cool City
