Eva Beware Of The City

Eva, beware of the city
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become
What they should not become
Changed--in short they go bad.

Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean and so ignored
I've only been predictable - respectable!
Birds fly out of here so why oh why oh why the hell
Can't I
I only want variety - notoriety!
I want to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aires, Big Apple!
She wants to be a part of B.A.,Buenos Aires, Big Apple!

Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say, you have your way--come to town
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
The magical city a
Younger girl's city, a
Fantasy long since put down.

All you've done to me was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
I'm going to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aires, Big Apple!
She's going to be a part of B.A., Buenos Aires, Big Apple!

Eva beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild
This in a man is a danger enough
But you are a woman, not
Even a woman, not
Very much more than a child and whatever you say
I'll not steal you away!
