INSIDIOUS CITY

from MEET THE BEATLES by The Beatles

/

lyrics

THERE'S A PLACE I KNOW
A PLACE WHERE I'VE LIVED
IT EATS AT YOUR BRAIN
AND TAKES MORE THAN IT GIVES
THE INSIDIOUS CITY
AND THE PEOPLE ARE NICE
AND THE PEOPLE ARE PURE
AND THE PEOPLE'S CONVICTIONS
ARE STRONGLY ASSURED
THE INSIDIOUS CITY

WHERE THE GRASS IS CUT
AND THE STREETS ARE CLEAN
BUT NOTHING THERE IS QUITE AS IT SEEMS
IN THE INSIDIOUS CITY
AND THE FEAR IS STRONG
AND THE FEAR SURVIVES
THE FEAR OF FAILURE
AND OF SPENDING THEIR LIVES
IN THE INSIDIOUS CITY

AND THE PEOPLE ARE NICE
AND THE PEOPLE ARE PURE

THE CITY'S GOT CHARM
AND THE CITY'S SO QUAINT
AND IT LOOKS SO PLEASANT
BUT I SWEAR THAT IT AIN'T
THE INSIDIOUS CITY
AND THE PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK
AND THE PEOPLE LIKE TO TEACH
BUT THE PEOPLE DON'T PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH
IN THE INSIDIOUS CITY

AND THERE'S PLENTY TO DO
AND THERE'S PLENTY TO SEE
BUT YOU MIGHT END UP SOMEWHERE
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
IN THE INSIDIOUS CITY
AND THE FEAR IS REAL
AND THE FEAR IS LOUD
THE FEAR OF TRYING BUT NEVER GETTING OUT
OF THE INSIDIOUS CITY

AND THE PEOPLE ARE NICE
AND THE PEOPLE ARE PURE
