[Verse 1]
Now we're in Twin Cities
Where the Mississippi rises and then falls
One is Minneapolis
And the other, though less famous, is St. Paul
There are stray dogs on the highway
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain
When the winds blew last winter
I swear England had another hurricane, hurricane
[Chorus]
And we are Twin Cities
And we are that river
From the standing still
We will be delivered
[Verse 2]
The last time in New York was with Mandela
And Madonna and the Mets
For icons of an era, well
That's about as famous as it gets
(That's what I call famous, babe)
I've seen cities full of ticker tape
And cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight
But I'm standing in a city
That's as pretty as an ocean in the night
Now we're in Twin Cities
Where the Mississippi rises and then falls
One is Minneapolis
And the other, though less famous, is St. Paul
There are stray dogs on the highway
And the local farmers moan about lack of rain
When the winds blew last winter
I swear England had another hurricane, hurricane
[Chorus]
And we are Twin Cities
And we are that river
From the standing still
We will be delivered
[Verse 2]
The last time in New York was with Mandela
And Madonna and the Mets
For icons of an era, well
That's about as famous as it gets
(That's what I call famous, babe)
I've seen cities full of ticker tape
And cotton trains through Utah disappearing out of sight
But I'm standing in a city
That's as pretty as an ocean in the night
