DCA



This is a slight re-write of the Lily Allen song, "LDN". "DCA" being the generic airport term for National Airport, which is the most centrally located airport in the DC area.

Riding through the city on my bike all day
'Cause I never even got my license.
It doesn't get me down and I feel okay
'Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless.

Everything seems to look as it should,
But I wonder what goes on behind doors.
In the gutter something glistens, and I wonder what I'm missing
But I see that it's really a crack pipe

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking round this old town.

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice,
But if you look twice
You can see its all lies.

There was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Giant.
There were people from the city having lunch in the park,
Yes, it all seemed harmless and buoyant.

Then a kid came along to offer a hand
But before she had time to accept it
Hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead
'Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet.

You might laugh, you might frown
Walking round this old town.

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice,
But if you look twice
You can see its all lies.

Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life,
Yeah, that's city life.
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life,
Yeah that's city life.

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky, oh why oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky, oh why oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky, oh why oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice,
But if you look twice
You can see its all lies.

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice,
But if you look twice
You can see its all lies.
