In the City

Somewhere out on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

I know there must be somethin' better

But there's nowhere else in sight

It's survival in the city

When you live from day to day

City streets don't have much pity

When you're down, that's where you'll stay

In the city

Oh, oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

In the city

Oh, oh

I was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty

No one's there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon

Faraway from the neon sky

I know there must be somethin' better

And I can't stay another night

Ooh

In the city

Oh, oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

In the city

Oh, oh

In the city

In the city

In the city

Oh, oh
