Eva Beware Of The City (From "Evita")

Eva Beware Of The City - Carl Wayne/Marti Webb

Eva beware of the city

It's hungry and cold can't be controlled it is mad

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole

And those who are not become

What they should not become

Changed in short they go bad

Bad is good for me

I'm bored so clean and so ignored

I've only been predictable respectable

Birds fly out of here so why oh why

Oh why the hell can't I

I only want variety of society

I'm gonna be a part of b a

Buenos aires big apple

I gonna be a part of b a

Buenos aires big apple

Five years from now I shall come back

And finally say you have your way come to town

But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes

The magical city a younger girl's city

A fantasy long since put down

All you've done to me was

That a young girl's fantasy

I played your city games alright didn't I

I already know what cooks how

The dirty city feels and looks

I tasted it last night didn't I

I'm gonna be a part of b a

Buenos aires big apple

I'm gonna be a part of b a

Buenos aires big apple

Eva beware your ambition

It's hungry and cold can't be controlled will run wild

This in a man is danger enough but you are a woman

Not even a woman not very much more than a child

And whatever you say I'll not steal you away
