"I got a hunger
running deep
I got a pain that
you can't see
Here in the city I
feel free
To chase what's
calling me
Now in a world that
plays for keeps
There is a party in
the streets
I'm gonna do what I
have to do
To make a life for
me
But it takes you
some time
Till you get you a
mind of your own
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights are gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be
my home
City nights
City nights
I work all day it's
wasting time
It pays the bills it
kills my mind
But I do what I have
to do
To keep my dream
alive
And when the
moonlight hits the street
I feel the thunder
of the beat
And suddenly I know
what I've been waiting for
But it takes you
some time
Till you get you a
mind of your own
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights are gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be
my home
City nights
City nights
City nights
I can't wait any
longer
I know where I
belong
There's my star
moving faster
But I'll take my
chances
I got to be strong
City nights
City nights
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The night's gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights will
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights"
