While the City Sleeps

What goes on behind closed doors

Private wounds, open sores

You're your own worst enemy

And cheap thrills bring you to your knees

It's thumbs down for someone you know

And it's easy come and easy go

Burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt

Livin' well is the best revenge

So give 'em hell

[(While the city sleeps)]

Yeah, it's all there in black and white

[(While the city sleeps)]

Yeah, through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life

[(While the city sleeps)]

While the city sleeps, yeah

It's a hit or miss, an eye for an eye

Live for today and don't ask why

For better or worse, you're bought and sold

They love you while you're hot

And leave you when you're cold

So burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt

Livin' well is the best revenge

So give 'em hell

[(While the city sleeps)] Yeah

Better run for your life, take your troubles to the night

[(While the city sleeps)] Yeah

Beggars, thieves and losers, there's no relief

[(While the city sleeps)]

There's no relief, while the city sleeps

[(While the city sleeps)]

Yeah

Burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat 'cause you paid your debt

Livin' well is the best revenge

So give 'em hell

[(While the city sleeps)]

While the city sleeps

[(While the city sleeps)]

While the city sleeps

[(While the city sleeps)]

Yeah, there's no relief

[(While the city sleeps)]
