Pablo’s City

I have pretended all this matters for too long
Gone and said this, this is all I ever wanted
It’s a joke I’m not a sinner
It’s a joke you ever heard
Come on don’t tell me you believe that

A missionary came to town
He told us God don’t care where you’re from
He don’t want you if you’re wealthy
He don’t want you if you’re poor
It’s a real man God is looking for

Pablo’s city
Red wine and jazz cafes
Waiting for me
A distant light in a steamy haze

Soon I’ll fly for pablo’s city
Soon I’ll fly for pablo’s place
I have broken the arch in my soul
I keep pacing these streets like a hungry animal
The sirens all are blaring
Cars try run me down
My socks are stained and soggy

Tonight I drink the lust out of my blood
With clenched limbs around another
It didn’t free my spirit
Couldn’t help me weep
I just needed rid of needing

Pablo’s city
Ballgowns and masquerades
Some girl pretty
Who’s asking me if I’ll play the game
I’ll play it for you pretty girl
I’ll smoke it if you’re sure
Let’s dance, let’s shimmy on the red rocks of hell

I am seeing everything for the first time
I am seeing everything for the first time
The first time again
The first time again

Soon I’ll fly for pablo’s city
Soon I’ll fly for pablo’s place
