There's a city in my mind, come along and take that ride

And it's alright. Baby, it's alright

And it's very far away, but it's growing day-by-day

            C#m
And it's alright. Baby, it's alright

          E
Would you like to come along? You can help me sing this song (We're on a road to nowhere)

And it's alright. Baby, it's alright

They can tell you what to do, but they'll make a fool of you (We're on a road to nowhere)

             C#m
Well, it's alright. Baby, it's alright

There's a city in my mind, come along and take that ride
