Twin Cities [2013 Remaster] lyrics

Now we're in Twin Cities,

Where the Mississippi rises and then falls.

One is Minneapolis,

And the other, though less famous, is St. Paul.

There are stray dogs on the highway,

And the local farmers moan about lack of rain.

When the winds blew last winter,

I'd swear England had another hurricane.

And we are Twin Cities

And we are that river.

From the standing still,

We will be delivered.

The last time in New York was with Mandela

And Madonna and the Mets.

For icons of an era, well,

That's about as famous as it gets.

(That's what I call famous, babe.)

I've seen cities full of ticker tape

and cotton trains through Utah

disappearing out of sight.

And now I'm standing in a city

That's as pretty

As an ocean in the night.

And we are Twin Cities

And we are that ocean.

From the standing still,

We are set in motion.

And no one calls me up to say,

"How long are you going to be away?"

(Are you ever coming back?)

Yeah ha

(Are you ever coming back?)

No one calls me up to say,

"Don't let that life lead you astray."

(Don't forget to come back.)

Yeah

(Don't forget to come back.)

They were rioting in Detroit on

The night the Pistons won it back to back.

I was out of there the next day and I

Only had just two bags to pack.

And we are Twin Cities

And we are that river.

From the standing still,

We will be delivered.

And we are Twin Cities

And we are that ocean.

From the standing still,

We are set in motion.

Yeah ha, da da na da

We are Twin Cities

Da da na ha

We are one river

(We are Twin Cities)

Yeah ha

One ocean

Na na ha ha

We are Twin Cities

(We are Twin Cities)

We are one river
