I Left My Heart in Philadelphia

from Megacoustic by The Mega Yeah

/

lyrics

I miss the skyline, greasy streetlights, city life
Walking under the bridge to Belmont Ave at 4am.
Falafel carts and funnel cake stands..
Wawa coffee and spray paintin' hearts
I never thought they days would come to an end..
When we first moved we lived by the Philly zoo.
I didn't love it at first, ya know.
I moved to Conchi and then I moved to Manayunk.
That's where I really felt at home
Riding the bus to work to the music store
with some of the greatest friends I've ever known.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I really miss my home.
Those days were different.. Those days are gone.
Playing guitar on my roof.
The police drive up to offer up some requests.
Next door, the convenient store,
ordered 99's and Keystone Orange Crème just for me.
Walking down this streets with music playing in my head
The soundtrack to this city has always been the Dead Milkmen.
I don't care about sports at all,
but I've got the updates on my phone
Because I got free pizza from Zesto's when the Eagles win.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I just miss being home.
I remember all of our house parties..
and hanging with my best friends.
I remember sledding down my steps
in my old apartment.
I remember rigging the chair to fall
apart underneath AC
and how I couldn't leave my house for days
when John puked in the hallway.
Those days are gone..
Rummaging through the records at Main Street Music
Right on the corner where I met Billy Bragg.
Thumbing through comics and playing video games
A couple blocks away from where I hung with Kris Roe.
Collecting all the Ramones shirts at Crash Bang Boom
I never met a girl there who knocked me dead.
Gliding my fingers on the rail along the canal
Walking back up to Lyceum Ave to go back home again.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I just miss being home.
I really just miss what life was like then.
But, I'm no longer a Philadelphian.
Here in the mountains I don't hear a fucking thing at all
