Life In The City lyrics

Whoa.. whoa

Whoa.. whoa

And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island

Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once?

I knew the dream, it died

JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway

But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once

Whoa.. whoa, living life in the city

Whoa.. whoa, it will never be pretty

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Whoa.. whoa, we can plan if we make it

Whoa.. whoa, we won't let 'em

They won't take it from me

No oh oh, whoa

Whoa.. whoa

Whoa.. whoa

And if you leave, don't leave me all alone

'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll be cold

And I miss my dad, Cleopatra sitting on the phone

So take me back off these streets and we'll never be apart

Together from the start

Never, never, falling back alone

Oh whoa, living life in the city

Oh whoa, it will never be pretty

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh whoa, we can plan if we make it

Oh whoa, we won't let 'em

They won't take it from me

No oh oh, whoa

And if the sun don't shine on me today

And if the subways flood and bridges break

Will you just lay down and dig your grave

Or will you rail against the dying day

Da-da-da, da da-da, da da-da

Da-da-da, da da-da, da da-da

Da-da-da, da da-da, da da-da

Da-da-da, da da-da, da da-da
