Lyrics
Ambitions rise, almost scrape the skies
As she looks out on the panorama of crowd
What have you in store for me
Wonder or mystery
All waiting up your sleeve
a thrum of opportunity
As rain falls down in this city
to trade all i've run from all i've been
and you can't learn what this place won't teach.
oh In this city
Judging eyes anonimously pry
as she wades through the masses on the tube
faces of every creed
The ugly the freak beauty
obsessed in celebrity
a voyeuristic new disease
As rain falls down in this city
the stage call you learn is only brief
and you can't learn what this place won't teach. Oh In this city
And no one cares, i know you wish for home
the cold stares, the face that no one knows
an endless crowd that moves you only on
in lonliness at least you know you're not alone
in lonliness at least you know you're not alone
Oh ah in this city
