| What goes on behind closed doors, private wounds, open sores
|
| You’re your own worst enemy and cheap thrills bring you to your knees
|
| It’s thumbs down for someone you know, and it’s easy come and easy go Chorus:
|
| Burn your bridges, take what you can get
|
| Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt
|
| Livin' well is the best revenge, so give 'em hell
|
| While the city sleeps — it’s all there in black and white
|
| While the city sleeps — through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
|
| While the city sleeps — while the city sleeps
|
| It’s a hit or miss, an eye for an eye, live for today, and don’t ask why
|
| For better or worse, you bought and sold
|
| They love you while you’re hot and leave you when you’re cold
|
| Chorus
|
| While the city sleeps — yeah, better run for your life
|
| Take your troubles to the night
|
| While the city sleeps — yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, there’s no relief
|
| While the city sleeps — there’s no relief, while the city sleeps
|
| While the city sleeps — yeah
|
| Chorus
|
| While the city sleeps — while the city sleeps
|
| While the city sleeps — while the city sleeps
|
| While the city sleeps — yeah, there’s no relief
|
| While the city sleeps |
