Rockstar City

Wild smiles from the street side, think they're getting high

I don't mind the sunny puddles, it's hot, my socks and shoes will dry

Something's put me in a daze, did they tell you I got lost today?

And I know the streets are numbered, "Welcome to New York", they'll say

I think they could tell I was nervous

'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground

But I made my way back through the chorus

And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud

And I didn't know if it was for me

So I lifted my eyes from my feet

Oh, was it something to see?

I smiled and remembered to breathe

Mum, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud

Oh, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud

Lunch in Soho, NoHo, I don't know, they seem the same to me

Momma, FOMO took me from NoHo, the afternoon was looking free

Will the horses from their feet, the taxi's good enough for me?

Your money trees can't sell to me, the park's got gardens full for free

I think they could tell I was nervous

'Cause I kept looking down, I kept watching the ground

But I made my way back through the chorus

And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud

And I didn't know if it was for me

So I lifted my eyes from my feet

Oh, was it something to see?

I smiled and remembered to breathe

Mum, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud

Oh, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud

Crying at the garden's edge

Won't let you see the flowers that grow in spring

Pass the front desk, bare and glassy, ask who's working there too late

So I stare long enough to care, still ideas that I don't get

Coloured hair and fancy dress seem to be the theme here, I would guess

It's time to go, I've got a show, breathe slow as jelly fills my legs

I think they could tell I was nervous

'Cause I kept looking down I kept watching the ground

But I made my way back through the chorus

And the half-baked crowd started cheering quite loud

And I didn't know if it was for me

So I lifted my eyes from my feet

Oh, was it something to see?

I smiled and remembered to breathe

Mum, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud

Oh, I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud

Yeah, I sang in Rockstar City

Oh, it can't have been all that pretty

But I sang in Rockstar City

I think you'd be proud, I think you'd be proud
