While The City Sleeps lyrics

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 -

it's all there in black and white

While the city sleeps -

through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life

While the city sleeps -

while the city sleeps

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

live for today, and don't ask why

For better or worse, you bought and sold

They love you while you're hot

and leave you when you're cold

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

yeah, there's no relief
