Life In the City

And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island

Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once?

I knew the dream had died, JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway

But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once

Whoa, whoa

Livin' life in the city

Whoa, whoa

It will never be pretty

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Whoa, whoa

We can plan if we make it

Whoa, whoa

We won't let 'em

They won't take it from me, no

Oh, oh

Whoa (Two, three, four)

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 sittin' 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

Oh, whoa

Livin' life in the city

Oh, oh

It will never be pretty

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, whoa

We can plan if we make it

Whoa, whoa

We won't let 'em

They won't take it from me, no

Oh, oh, whoa

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 dyin' day?
