[Verse 1]
Got jumped by a bottle of scotch
I was lying there till the sun came up
Open my eyes, dustin' myself off
No one's around, the shops are still shut
See my silhouette in the reflection of the window
Tryin' to make out if I'm lookin' wounded at all
Started walkin' away from the night
And into the day to set my shit right

[Chorus]
In a back seat, starin' at the city lights
In a taxi, man, I hate the city life
Take me back home, I don't care about the fare
I just wanna go 'cause I fuckin' hate it here
In a back seat, starin' at the city lights
In a taxi, man, I hate the city life
Take me back home, I don't care about the fare
I just wanna go 'cause I fuckin' hate it here

[Verse 2]
Got myself a coffee shot
But the caffeine made me edgy as fuck
I thought this place looked nice last night
But I was just lookin' straight through the smog
Way too many people and too much shit goin' on
But it all seems alright at first sight

[Chorus]
In a back seat, starin' at the city lights
In a taxi, man, I hate the city life
Take me back home, I don't care about the fare
I just wanna go 'cause I fuckin' hate it here
In a back seat, starin' at the city lights
In a taxi, man, I hate the city life
Take me back home, I don't care about the fare
I just wanna go 'cause I fuckin' hate it here
