City Nights

(album: Emergency - 1983)

I got a hunger running deep
I got a pain that you can't see
Here in the city I feel free
To chase what's calling me

Now in a world that plays for keeps
And there's a party in the streets
I'm gonna do what I have to do
To make a life for me

But it takes you some time
'Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights, I'll be what I want to be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be my home

City nights, City nights
City nights, City nights

I work all day, it's wasting time
It pays the bills, it kills my mind
But I do what I have to do
To keep my dream alive

And when the moonlight hits the street
I feel the thunder of the beat
And suddenly I know
What I've been waiting for

But it takes you some time
'Till you get you a mind of your own

City nights, I'll be what I want to be
The nights are gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be my home

City nights, City nights
City nights, City nights
City nights, City nights
City nights, City nights

I can't wait any longer
I know where I belong
There's my star moving faster
But I'll take my changes I got to be strong

City nights

City nights, I'll be what I want to be
The night's gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights

I'll be what I want to be
The night's gonna rescue me
'Cause you know that I'm living
Deep in the city nights...
