One Man No City Songtext

von Parquet Courts

Where I'm from, well no one lived there.
I look back now, nothing's changed.
Where I'm from now, still no one lives there.
Look back again and lock the door.
Yeah, I maintain, I still remain
One man solitary and no city.
One man solitary and no city.
One man solitary and no city.

"Cogito ergo sum" people say,
But think again 'cause I have no faith.
I find building blocks filled with nothing.
Seen an ink blot page and I said nothing.
"Outside? I'll check it out it's just a mirror."
"Look back now!" An empty page.
Yet I maintain, I still remain,
One man solitary and no city.
One man solitary and no city.
One man solitary and no city.

No town and no city
No identity and no city
No thoughts, no feelings and no city
No, you just me I think and no city
No words I speak and no city
No outside and no city
Nothing at all and no city
No way home and no city
No relief and no city
No sympathy and no city
No understanding and no city
There's no one else and no city
Yet I maintain, I still remain,
One man solitary and no city
