Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip,
|
she was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip.
|
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
|
and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground
|
and gettin' higher HIGHER.
|
|
Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea
|
when I saw her but she did not see me.
|
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
|
and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
|
back to the city CITY.
|
|
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
|
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
|
night in the city drivin' you insane.
|
|
In the city CITY
|
|
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
|
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
|
night in the city drivin' you insane.
|
|
I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place.
|
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
|
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
|
I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door
|
into the city CITY.
|
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
|
drivin' you insane.
|
|
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
|
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
|
night in the city drivin' you insane,
|
drivin' you insane,
|
drivin' you insane.
