In The City
 
She stood out in a crowd of faces
Said let me take a picture cause you’re gonna be famous
Tonight, you’re right on time
I’m working just to live, living just to play
Barely enough to make it through a day in the life
Under neon lights
 
In the city, we don’t sleep 
Too busy living the dream anyway 
Anyway we can 
 
We’ve got style that’s hard to maintain
Friday I’m a king, but Monday I’m a slave
Funny how you can change
Dance until your heartbeat syncs with the drums
Singing til you got no breath left in your lungs
Like a burned out prodigal son
 
In the city, we don’t sleep 
Too busy living the dream anyway 
Anyway we can
In the city, nothing’s free
So I’m giving every piece of me away 
‘Til I find my place 
In the city, In the city
 
A face in the crowd or a drop in the flood 
Cars on the streets like blood rushing through my veins
It quickens in pace
Cause its a blood bath on your way to the top,
A slow dance that will never stop 
Would you take the crown at any cost, for a spit-on, broken kingdom
 
I dream of the day the city is mine, but I’m running out of time
No wonder I’ll be up all night 
 
In the city, we don’t sleep 
Too busy living the dream anyway 
Anyway we can
In the city, nothing’s free
So I’m giving every piece of me away 
‘Til I find my place 
In the city, In the city
