Life In The City

Woo, woo
Woo, woo

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

Woah woah, living life in the city
Woah woah, it will never be pretty, oh, oh
Woah woah, we can plan if we make it
Woah woah, we won't let 'em
They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah (2, 3, 4)

Woo, woo
Woo, woo

And if you leave, don't leave me all alone
'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll get cold
And I miss my dad and Cleopatra sitting on a phone
So take me back off these streets and we'll never be apart
Together from the start
Never, never falling back alone

Living life in the city
Oh oh, it will never be pretty, oh, oh
Oh oh, we can plan if we make it
Woah woah, we won't let 'em
They won't take it from me, no, oh, oh, woah

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 your dying day?

Da da da da, da, da, da ah da
Da da da da ah, da, da, da
Da da da da, da, da, da ah da
Da da da da ah, da, da, da
