Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes
Oh, the city is bright
It's brighter than day tonight
[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
[Verse 2]
Sadie said she couldn't work out
What it was all about and so she let go
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know
[Verse 3]
She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family, lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out, find out what she's living for
[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
[Verse 4]
Tonight
[Verse 5]
Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame
That knows me by name
Oh, the city's desire
To take me for more and more
[Verse 6]
It's in the street, gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you
It's in the things that I do and say
And if I wanna live
I gotta die to myself someday
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song (Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song (Oh, oh, oh)
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song (Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song (Oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
