Johnny was a dark child
|
He was promised to us all
|
But rides in the night, can lift you out of sight
|
When they call
|
|
Sally was a princess
|
She was chosen for the crown
|
But chains can't stop the sound
|
|
Of one night in the city
|
One night looking pretty
|
|
The someone opened doorways
|
And Johnny slipped away
|
Running for the bright, where dark is always light
|
But there's no day
|
|
The princess saw the dark child
|
And the dark child said her name
|
|
Come steal away, we'll play the game
|
|
Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me
|
I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream
|
Are you poor, are you sure, are you holy, are you pure
|
I can tell you tales you just might not believe
|
|
One night in the city, one night looking pretty
|
One night in the city, one night looking pretty
|
|
The children shared the wonder
|
Of the leather and the lace
|
But one child went away, and one child stayed to play
|
|
For one night in the city
|
