Lyrics
The City At Night (Chris Ising, Mark Dolin, Bill O'Hanlon)
I'm walking the streets of this dirty old city
A shadow splashing down on the broken sidewalk at night
A face nobody knows
Midnight sirens playing my music
I can't sleep without hearing that beautiful noise
The only song that I know
Hustle and hassles
And trouble at every turn
This town's gonna kill me
I've tried but I can't leave
It all wrong and it's all right
And somehow I survive
The city at night
I know every corner and the memories still haunt me
The bums and bodegas, I know every inch of this place
like the back of my hand
I love you and hate you, you're like an old lover
I can't give you up, you don't do it like you used to do
It's kind of a drag
Hustle and hassles
And trouble at every turn
This town's gonna kill me
I've tried but I can't leave
It all wrong and it's all right
And somehow I survive
The city at night
(SOLO)
(repeat chorus)
