Livin' day to day
People find a way
To smile and look to the future
They've got more to say
And got no time to play
So they think, but it's just an illusion
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Blind in the spotlight
From an eagle's eye
Nothin' but time to fly
Lookin' down it's just a disaster
Years pass lookin back
You caught that heart attack
Each day is just goin' faster
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Fighting the good fight
Holdin' our heads up high
Livin' the good lie
Holdin' our secrets near
Fearin' the good fear
Heads are spinning
Lights are dimming low
No one winning
Feelin' the thinning hope
Time stops moving
Can't stop losing now
No improving
Have to survive somehow
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Fighting the good fight
Life in the city
Days in the ring of fire
Life in the city
Blind in the spotlight
