The City lyrics

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
