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¡¦.
