A mans journey in the capital

You can find me in the club bottle full of bub Look mami I got what you need if you need to feel a buzz I'm into having sex I ain't into ** ** So come give me a hug if you into getting rubbed He stepped off the train with a paper bag One shoe scuffed one sleeve torn The capital breathed in cold and smoke He held his name like a ticket stub He said I came to start again A folded map in his back pocket three coins were ringing His mother's watch and a grin that still knew hunger If you see him tell him keep walking The whole wide place is waiting In the capital in the capital he keeps his head up Keeps his head up in the capital in the capital He won't go under won't go under Keep your feet moving Keep your feet moving He washed his shirt in a sink at dawn Hung it by a cracked window frame Worked all day on a scaffold in line With dust in his teeth and rain on his hands At night he found a room above a bakery Smelled sugar through the floorboards thin He wrote one line on the back of a bill Tomorrow I'll be somebody Hey if you see him tell him keep walking The whole wide place is waiting In the capital in the capital he keeps his head up Keeps his head up in the capital in the capital He won't go under won't go under Keep your feet moving Keep your feet moving Then came the week with the red folder name And a door that opened just enough A woman said you've got steady hands He almost laughed at luck He called his mother from a public phone Said I'm still here don't worry She said I know son that's how you get through In the capital in the capital he keeps his head up Keeps his head up in the capital in the capital He won't go under won't go under In the capital in the capital He found a door and walked right through Keep your feet moving
