One Man No City - Parquet Courts

Where I’m from, when 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, there’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

Yeah I maintain, I still remain

One man solitary and no city
