Lyrics

Lookin' for another chance
Of someone else to be
Lookin' for another place
To ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Where everything seems so pretty
But, if you're tired and you're sick of the city
Remember that it's just a flower made out of clay
Oh-oh-oh, the city
Where everything seems so pretty
But, if you're tired and you're filled with self-pity
Remember, that you're just one more person who's there
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
Whoa-whoa-whoa
It's hard to live in the city
Whoa-whoa-whoa
It's hard to live in the city
Written by: John Cale, Lou Reed, Maureen Ann Tucker, Sterling Morrison
