|
Stop and go on an empty crossing |
|
The lights keep changing to only their hum |
|
And standing in line along the kerb |
|
The bin bags wait till the morning comes |
|
You hear yourself walk echo lonely |
|
See shadows move in every door |
|
Are you sure that's your own footsteps behind? |
|
Is there really nothing to turn round for? |
|
And you feel that you're always gonna walk |
|
The city streets all on your own |
|
The night is dark as a car crawls by |
|
And the road goes on and on |
|
They don't even care about you |
|
They never even think about you |
|
'Cos they're gonna do without you and you're gone |
|
Just another big city night |
|
Over your shoulder, round every corner |
|
Remember what's happened to people you've known |
|
Watch for yourself, 'cos no one else will |
|
You're gonna get it if you're alone |
|
Suddenly a stab from a knife out of nowhere |
|
Jumped from behind like they always do |
|
It only makes one line in the paper you read |
|
Somebody got it but it was you |
|
And you feel that you're always gonna walk |
|
The city streets all on your own |
|
The night is dark as a car crawls by |
|
And the road goes on and on |
|
They don't even care about you |
|
They never even think about you |
|
'Cos they're gonna do without you and you're gone |
|
Just another big city night |
|
Just another big city night |
|
Who's it gonna be tonight? |
