City Song

It was that night at nowhere,

I saw you standing there

Darlin' you were hungry for life,

an innocent in this land

What is it about this city,

that brings us all to life

Ten millions souls vibrating,

They're shimmering in the night

You mustn't think of staying,

The price is more than you'd think

It's giving up the sweetest part of you,

For this heartless prize

When does a vision of heaven

become a living hell

Ten million souls vibrating,

they're acting it out for real

Where do all the lonely people go,

When they want some lovin'

Where do all the lonely people hide,

when they feel like cryin'

It was that night at nowhere,

a cold glass in your hand

Darlin' you were angry with life,

a prisoner in this land

What is it about this city,

that brings us all to life

Ten millions souls vibrating,

They're shimmering in the night

Where do all the lonely people go,

When they want some lovin'

Where do all the lonely people hide,

when they feel like cryin'

Where do all the lonely people go,

in this crowded city

Where do all the lonely people hide,

there's no sanctuary

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile

Won't you talk with me

Spend some time and give me life

When does a vision of heaven

become a living hell

Ten million souls vibrating

They're shimmering in the night

Where do all the lonely people go,

in this crowded city

Where do all the lonely people hide,

there's no sanctuary

A vision of heaven

A vision of heaven
