save me from monotony
the world's a big monopoly
hide me in the city lights
take me out on city nights
save me from this blood i see
if you are in then let me be
i hear the concrete calling me
just show me life and i'll agree
i hear the footsteps just behind
i hear the footsteps in my mind
i need a world so i can't be seen
i need a world that's so unclean
and i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
take me to an underground
with the lights off so i can't be found
i think now i begin to see what god's got in store for me
find me in the city slums
beat on me like money drums
show me how to live in here
show me love
don't show me fear
and i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
break me down
and build me up
steal the bread right from my cup
and only once
and only twice
i look into those city lights
into the light show
