lyrics

Kiss me and prove what you've been thinking is real
Ditch all your old clothes. Can't you see the style that you've been lacking?

Is it your plan to shock this man from the ledge?
Painting your nails while I'm head first in the greenhouse I was building.

Uptown, where the breeze blows
Feel a stranger in your own clothes, watch me now.

You dropped all your change from shopping too fast.
A bottle of wine and swap meet sweaters you found while you were driving.

I feel remorseful pangs of a life unlead.
Embarrassing you by the way I'm acting you need space to rent in

Uptown, where the breeze blows
Feel a stranger in your own clothes, watch me now.

BRIDGE
A little patience is required, before you set the house on fire.
(Why do you smoke those low-grade cigarettes?)
I'm losing all my sense of self. Why don't you dance for someone else?
(Why do you smoke those low-grade cigarettes?)

Now you're undressing for clients in private booths.
I stop to adjust my tie the situation gets less attractive.

I thought you used to hang with a challenging crew.
They've only provided standard issue reasons for falling down in

Uptown, where the breeze blows
Feel a stranger in your own clothes, watch me now.
