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
