Caramel City

Danko Jones

Washington D.C. is pretty but it ain't my city

I need a town here where I can get down

I follow traces of faces of people, baby

And when they get it on the world turns brown

In my town you can walk around at night

Go anywhere with anyone you like

Don't like to leave I'd rather hang around

I love it when the world comes to my town



C...A...RA...MEL



The younger you feel the more it feels right

Crossover genes in the middle of the night

I thought a little color hurt,

But I was wrong, baby, dead wrong



So I'm calling all white people,

Black people,

Asians, Hispanics, Natives everybody

I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs

Caramel City is where I come from



C...A...RA...MEL



It don't get better when you run and hide

I like it when the world collide

I wanna do it baby, do it like we do it every night

I'm sick and tired of being friends

I want to melt in pots and make ammends

The first kiss means the party is about to begin



Washingto D.C. is pretty...

I need love from everyone around

So I'm calling all white people,

Black people....
