City Nights

Lyrics

CITY NIGHTS It's a dark and scary night No moon, just neon lights You could cut the tension with a knife Just another city night All around are glarin' eyes Some afraid of anger Some lookin' for a fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Someone in this town is goin' down tonight City Nights............City Nights Another brother bites the dust They say he shot first and then he jumped The papers carry a different tale He was pushed over the rail Street justice is the law of the land The law will tell you it's out of their hands This city is out of control Tonight's special is terror on a roll City Nights .............City Nights Roll the dice, you've got nothing to lose Go on and take a chance and lose these New York Blues (SOLO) City Nights............City Nights A single mother working late Tryin' to make a few bucks chasin' down dates Pushers in the doorways sellin' short life The city is awake, she never sleeps at night Nowhere to hide, no runnin' away No one you can call who cares anyway You've got to play the hand that you're dealt Tryin' to get out is like climbing out a well City Nights........City Nights.........City Nights.........City Nights
