This City |
| This city never sleeps |
| I hear the people walk by when it’s late |
| Sirens bleed through my windowsill |
| I can’t close my eyes |
| Don’t control what I’m into |
| And this tower is alive |
| The lights that blind keep me awake |
| Hood up and lace untied |
| The sleep fills my mind |
| Can’t control what I’m into |
| London calls me a stranger, a traveller |
| This is now my home, my home |
| I’m burning on the back street |
| Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| I’m blazing on the street |
| What I do isn’t up to you |
| If the city never sleeps |
| Then that makes two |
| The pavement is my friend |
| It will take me where I need to go |
| I find it trips me up |
| And puts me down |
| This is not what I’m used to |
| The shop across the road |
| Fills my needs and gives me company |
| When I need it |
| Voices speak through my walls |
| I don’t think I’m gonna make it |
| Past tomorrow |
| London calls me a stranger, a traveller |
| This is now my home, my home |
| I’m burning on the back street |
| Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| I’m blazing on the street |
| What I do isn’t up to you |
| If the city never sleeps |
| Then that makes two |
| And my lungs hurt |
| And my ears bled |
| With the sound of the city life |
| Echoed in my head |
| Do I need this to keep me alive? |
| The traffic stops and starts |
| But I need to move along |
| London calls me a stranger |
| This is not my home, home |
| I’m burning on the back street |
| Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| I’m blazing on the street |
| What I do isn’t up to you |
| And if the city never sleeps |
| Then that makes two |
