Lyrics for Twin Cities by Everything But The Girl
Songwriters: Watt, Ben
(We are twin cities)
From the standing still, we will be delivered
From the standing still, we will be delivered
No one calls me up to say
And no one calls me up to say
We are one river, yeah
Last time in New York was with Mandela
We are one river
The Pistons won it back to back
That’s as pretty as an ocean in the night
(That’s what I call famous, babe)
I’ve seen cities full of ticker tape
(Don’t forget to come back)
And we are twin cities, and we are one ocean
Yeah, we are twin cities
That’s about as famous as it gets
One is Minneapolis
(We are twin cities)
(Don’t forget to come back)
“Don’t let that life lead you astray”
And cotton trains through Utah, disappearing out of sight
Now I’m standing in a city
And we are twin cities, and we are that river
From the standing still, we are set in motion
When the winds blew last winter I swear
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain
And we are twin cities, and we are that ocean
And I only had just two bags to pack
We are twin cities
And we are twin cities, and we are one river
“How long are you going to be away?”
And Madonna and The Mets
We are twin cities, one ocean
(Are you ever coming back?)
One ocean
From the standing still, we are set in motion
They were rioting in Detroit on the night
They’re icons of an era where
England had another hurricane, hurricane
There are stray dogs on the highway
One ocean
I was out of there the next day
And the other no less famous is St. Paul’s
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
(Are you ever coming back?)
