"In the City"
Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city
Oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
In the city
Oh, oh
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
Ooh
In the city
Oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
In the city
Oh, oh
In the city
In the city
In the city
Oh, oh
