Sound of the City

So baby there you stand

The bottle in your hand

Shouting to the night

While the city sleeps

Caught in the light of a car

Or subways station sparks

I see your face again

Guess it?s time to leave

And I watch you fall from a great height

And you watch me fail night after night

And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight

Keeps my dreams and my demons alive

Baby I?m still alive

I hear the city breathe

I dream the city?s dreams

And she?s still in my arms

For another year

So bring your broken hearts

Call me The King of Cards

I?ll make it disappear

With a sleight of hand

And I watch you fall from a great height

And you watch me fail night after night

And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight

Keeps my dreams and my demons alive

Baby I?m still alive

Still you don?t come, you won?t come

But the fever has broken

And the daylight is blinding your eyes

And still you don?t come, you won?t come

But the city she?s not done

She?s calling, she?s calling your name
