People live below me up above me to the sides
Even if I wanted to I got no place good to hide
Concrete is my color and commerce it's my pride
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here'Cause I can't live like this
Alone along the crowded streets among the circus freaks
I saw Jezebel and Claribel and they were begging mister please
You can help me too I said and gave them my T. V.
Chorus
Cause I can't live like
My hands are twitching brain is frazzled
Carryin on in fits
I can't carry on in this frenzied state I'm in
The last time that I saw you, you were wearing a disguize
And hiding from some lawyers who were buzzing gray haired flies
Dried out bloodshot eyes have you forgotten how to cry
Chorus
Cause I can't live like
Out of here
Cause I can't live like
Out of here

This song has been one of my key tracks in the last year. I’ve been a resident of BK NYC since 1980, and one building in Park Slope BK since 1993, and I’m getting out of here.  Only too happy to go.  The scales have fallen from me eyes, like this guy:

No one should live like this

Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here 

'cause I can't live like this

I heard this song in the background and briefly thought it was Kevin Gilbert.  Oh how I miss Kevin and I'm bummed he's not on RP.

Used to see these guys at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA. Always a great show!

I live in NYC and my landlord wants me to vacate. I should adopt this as my current theme song.

This sounds like a male Indigo Girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I love these guys -- folky and rocky. Hubby calls them the Indigo Boys. They make amazing use of dynamics on their CDs and it transfers over in their concerts. I\'d love to hear more of them here. They are definately an underrated band. They also made me want to read Slaughterhouse 5. :D

Propulsive beat, nice harmonies, and hey, they come from my neck of the woods in Georgia.
