Nerve and nerve
This coastline swerves
To a city that they live on
I walk on by
Animals cry
To a city that they live on
To a city that they walk on
To a city that they live on
Pulse, pulse, pulse
Feel
Pulse, pulse, pulse
This train is late, I hesitate
To a city that they live on
Dance the dance of violence
To a city that they live on
To a city that they crawl on
To a city that they live on
Pulse, pulse, pulse
Feel
Pulse, pulse, pulse
City that they live on
Feel
To a city that they crawl on
City that they live on
Feel
City that they crawl on
To a city live on
Feel

Tony Bennett: There's a swingin' town I know called... Capital City.
People stop and scream hello in... Capital City.

And it makes a king feel like some nutty, cuckoo,
super-king.
It's against the law to frown in... Capital City.
You'll caper like a stupid clown when you chance to see...
Fourth Street and 'D'! Yeah!
Once you get a whiff of it, you'll never want to roam,
From Capital City, my home sweet, swingin' home!
