Central City's gonna kill me
kill me dead
that's what I said
x2
all the plumbing's shot to ribbons
in this house and in my bowels
bathroom exploded while you were gone
better throw away the towels
'cause
Central City's gonna kill me, etc.
I sprained my arm on a slot machine
broke my ankle putting on my shoes
threw my back out saying goodbye to you
and nearly fainted from singing the blues
'cause
Central City's gonna kill me, etc.
1.7 miles in the sky
when you first arrive you'll feel kinda high, but
then you feel like you're gonna die
and then you notice all the senior citizens
dropping like flies, 'cause
Central City's gonna kill me, etc...
