Night In The City

(album: Out Of The Blue - 1977)

Standing at the airport looking down the strip,
she was crying her eyes, she was biting her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
and there's no turning round 'cos it's just leaving the ground
and getting higher HIGHER.

Standing at the dock-side looking out to sea
when I saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
back to the city CITY.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city driving you insane.

In the city CITY

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city driving you insane.

I was running kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door
into the city CITY.

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
driving you insane.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city driving you insane,
driving you insane,
driving you insane.
