lyrics

There's a beauty parlor on the corner,
there's a thousand degrees on the sun up there,
we have a mighty hot sun,
(so many things to think about, friends)

and there's a kid pointing his water gun at me,
and I'm crying, I never thought,
no I never thought I'd be
in Kansas City (what a place to be found in)
to be one of the chosen ones to live in Kansas City.

When I could've been some lover at sea.

Maria, the fortune teller on your block,
she's got an expensive crystal ball
set up in the parking lot.
Maria, she's got a stack of tarot cards,
she's got this mean manner of telling you the blues you got.

You got the blues in Kansas City (what a place to be found in)
man, to be one of the chosen ones to live in Kansas City.

When you should've been some lover at sea.


----- If you'd like to, I could pick you up at four,
------take you to my favorite grocery store,
------it's a cornerstone of a store

------or if you'd like to, I could pick you up and teach you
------teach you how to pour out your blues, pour out your heart
------pour out everything

into Kansas City (what a place to be found in)
man, to be one of the fortunate ones to live in Kansas City

I've always been some lover at sea.
