Johnny was a dark child |
|
He was promised to us all |
|
But rides in the night, can lift you out of sight |
|
When they call |
|
Sally was a princess |
|
She was chosen for the crown |
|
But chains can't stop the sound |
|
Of one night in the city |
|
One night looking pretty |
|
The someone opened doorways |
|
And Johnny slipped away |
|
Running for the bright, where dark is always light |
|
But there's no day |
|
The princess saw the dark child |
|
And the dark child said her name |
|
Come steal away, we'll play the game |
|
Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me |
|
I'm the bite, |
|
I'm the bark, |
|
I'm the scream |
|
Are you poor, are you sure, are you holy, are you pure |
|
I can tell you tales you just might not believe |
|
One night in the city |
|
One night looking pretty |
|
One night in the city |
|
One night looking pretty |
|
The children shared the wonder |
|
Of the leather and the lace |
|
But one child went away, and one child stayed to play |
|
For one night in the city |
