The lights of the city shine bright in the car wheels
The girls look pretty with bare legs and high heels
The knives and the guns are prepared for the drug deals
As the sun goes down in my town
The drunk takes a hit from his first since nightfall
The pimp on the corner counts every curb crawl
The cops in their cars sit and wait for that first call
As the sun goes down in my town
The darkness reaches out and takes my hand again
As the memories of the day all fade away
And the neon lights are smiles like an old friend
The sirens start to sing
Dragging me in
I shout “see you later” and head for the west-bound
The tube escalator is slow so I run down
The night has secrets waiting to be found
As the sun goes down in my town
The darkness reaches out and takes my hand again
As the memories of the day all fade away
And the neon lights are smiles like an old friend
The sirens start to sing
Dragging me in
I shout “see you later” and head for the west-bound
The tube escalator is slow so I run down
The night has secrets waiting to be found
As the sun goes down in my town (x3)
