Every night before I go to sleep I listen long to the bustling streets And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle Oh, how I'm gonna settle They raised me up on brick and bread Concrete jungle, no room in your head And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle I'm gonna settle My mama was told by them And my daddy, he was told by them Oh man, won't you be the one to help me understand No answer, just waiting Anticipating why Mm, mm, mm A little patch way up in the sky It says you can leave here anytime you like And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle How long I'm gonna settle How long I'm gonna settle How long I'm gonna settle
