Terminal City

After eating a delicious bowl of Pho
At my favourite Vietnamese restaurant
I walked across the street to the showroom
It was summer and there was nothing to do
Well the woman smiled at me said
«Is there anything you liked to know about the neighbourhood?»
I told her that I’d lived here for ten years
Well
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that I cannot save it!
«This neighbourhood has lot of character
Lots of new restaurants and shops»
She said «We're bringing the west to the east»
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that I cannot save it!
We all live in a terminal city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
We all live in a terminal city
Back of my neck getting…
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that
We all know that I cannot save it!
