The City |
| I first saw her as a child on the movie screen |
| I felt my heart jump out of my chest |
| She was damaged and lean |
| With a character that puts your fortitude to the test |
| Beauty by day, danger by night |
| Ain’t it a bitch to see |
| That the only city I could ever really love |
| Takes the time to step on people like me? |
| Like a wind |
| Like a flame |
| She plays by the rules of her own game |
| She can’t lose |
| You can’t win |
| All you can do is your best to stay in |
| I hear an echo through a canyon of concrete |
| Reflecting seas of lifeless eyes |
| Watching ants toting hope home into their towers |
| Stretching up towards the sky |
| Somehow she moves me, somebody fooled me |
| Into thinking she don’t mean to be mean |
| And the fact, though impractical, seems to be |
| That she’s somehow got a hold on me |
| Like a wind |
| Like a flame |
| She plays by the rules of her own game |
| She can’t lose |
| You can’t win |
| All you can do is your best to stay in |
| Like a wind |
| Like a flame |
| She plays by the rules of her own game |
| She can’t lose |
| You can’t win |
| All you can do is your best to stay in |
| Leave a light on |
| Leave a light on all night long |
| Leave a light on |
| Leave a light on all night long |
| Leave a light on |
| Leave a light on all night long |
