High In The City

Silent Letter
High In The City
Written by gerry beckley and dewey bunnell, (c)1979
Found on silent letter.
Now i’m high in the city
Feel the evening air
The crowds in the city
Compete for a share
It’s all so busy, a complete affair
Down here…
As i walk through marble
Finding my way out to daylight
One drinking orange vodka
Someone inside here
Will give us a ride dear
I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city’s the only show
Can i take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it’s worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight
Do or die in the misty city
All night long
A nightclub in the middle
Tappin' time to my song
Catch hell for leavin'
They are always wrong
Down here…
As i walk through marble
Finding my way in the night-light
Two people sit and argue
Someone inside here
Will give them a ride clear
I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city’s the only show
Can i take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it’s worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight
